The channels were not used, the UK just sent out a press release. As well as threatening court action which it hopes won't be used, the EU has requested that the appropriate channels are used in a side letter to David Frost.
It requests that the UK enters into good faith consultations in the Joint Committee, with the aim of reaching a mutually agreed solution by the end of this month.
David Frost's aggressive stance is in marked contrast to Michael Gove's more constructive approach. Perhaps it's designed to keep the ERG happy, but it looks unlikely to help us build on the foundations of the Brexit deal which we need to do.
