No bill to pay to leave EU 'club'
The claim that anyone leaving a club would still pay for their commitments (Karel Lannoo, Connexion June) is fallacious.
If I leave a club I simply stop paying my annual subscription. I am not liable for, say, the cost of the new pavilion – even if I voted for it during my membership.
It will be the legal aspects of which Treaty commitments may have been signed (or not) which will be the key factor. The ‘huge’ bill is to frighten other member states from following the UK.
