The old backstop provisions had that it remained in place unless and until the EU agreed to otherwise. A similar situation arises with the new agreement. If the EU side of the Joint committee don't agree on anything, then everything is blocked.
I think you are on the right lines, nomadking. If we ignored the treaty or did not abide by it there would be a case to answer, because the treaty remains in effect after the Withdrawal Agreement ends regardless of the outcome of negotiations.

We haven't seen the detail yet, but it seems that all they are doing is tying up some loose ends.
