LONDON - In his deep baritone, Geoffrey Cox, British Prime Minister Theresa May’s top lawyer, relishes winning the argument.
May and her government have handed Cox the tricky task of securing changes to her deal on leaving the EU that can win the approval of a deeply divided parliament and smooth Britain’s departure, currently scheduled for March 29. “We are moving in the right direction,” one minister said on condition of anonymity. “If he does manage it, I will make a golden statue of him and bow down to it every morning.”
It has helped win some major cases, including successfully defending the former premier of the Cayman Islands, McKeeva Bush, but can also irritate other Conservative lawmakers, many of whom share his legal training and bristle at his jibes. Cox is charged with offering legal assurances to euroskeptic UK lawmakers that the backstop - which would be triggered if a new trading relationship fails to sweep away any need for additional border checks - will not keep the country trapped in the EU’s sphere indefinitely.After being forced to reveal the legal advice he gave to the government in parliament in December, it was his assertion that the backstop could entrap Britain that hardened opposition to May’s deal.
