See the quoted section in post #1511. That is the "backstop".

Laws and disputes
The UK will remain under European Court of Justice (ECJ) jurisdiction during the transition.
- A joint UK-EU committee will be set up to try to resolve any disputes on the interpretation of the withdrawal agreement.
- If the backstop is triggered and the UK forms a single customs territory with the EU, the ECJ will not be able to resolve disputes between the UK and EU directly.
- Instead, the whole dispute resolution procedure will be backed up by an arbitration panel. However, if any dispute rests on the interpretation of EU law, the arbitration panel refers the case to the ECJ for a binding decision.
