In the unlikely event that it is determined that a Party has not complied with Article 184 of the Withdrawal Agreement, the primary remedy would be that the party in default would be obliged to return to the negotiating table and modify its position. In the event that there was further non-compliance, remedies may be imposed under the processes established by the Withdrawal Agreement.
