Could UK switch ECJ for EFTA Court after Brexit?

Carl Baudenbacher, the departing president of the European Free Trade Association's court, said the UK could quit the single market without losing sovereignty by "docking" at his own institution after turning its back on the EU's Court of Justice. In essence, this would mean using the Luxembourg EFTA Court as an arbiter for disputes under whatever trade pact the UK and EU agree upon.

Baudenbacher said it would allow the UK to free itself from the powers of the EU's top court and instead send a judge to the smaller Luxembourg-based EFTA Court housed in the Hemicycle Building in Kirchberg, used by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, which operate their own trade bloc with access to the EU market. How it would work in reality would need to be hashed out in the Brexit negotiations, he said.
