I, on the other hand, would be very happy if you were leading the British side of these negotiations.

Life's unfair, Seph, you have to get over it.

In this instance, I imagine two things determine this:
- There's very little time left to strike a deal. Adopting an existing mechanism is easier than devising a new one.
- Scale of trade. This is far more significant between the UK and EU than between the EU and Canada or Japan. Hence more disputes are likely. Having an existing infrastructure in place can move more rapidly than having to rope in 15 judges from elsewhere.
