Chief negotiators David Frost and Michel Barnier will conclude the final formal round of trade talks between the UK and the EU with a meeting against the backdrop of legal proceedings.

They will close a week of post-Brexit talks in Brussels with a meeting on Friday after the European Commission launched action against the UK after the British government refused to withdraw plans to override key elements of the Brexit divorce settlement.
