THERESA May has won her fight with the EU to impose a time limit on euro judges having a say on EU Citizens’ rights, The Sun can reveal.

Under the compromise plan to end one of the divorce deal’s major stand offs, Britain’s Supreme Court could refer a small number of legal protests from Europeans living here to the Luxembourg court to rule on.

But that arrangement will end in 2029, when complete overwight of UK laws will return to British judges.

But giving the ECJ a remit for another decade after Brexit risks infuriating Tory Brexiteers.

Leave campaigners have insisted the powerful euro court’s role must end the day Britain leaves the EU on March 29, 2019.

Veteran Tory Eurosceptic Sir William Cash said last night: “Allowing the ECJ any role whatsoever is a mistake.

“It will spread its tentacles, like ectoplasm, and end up ruling on all manner of things. That’s what it has done ever since 1956.”

The revelation comes after Theresa May spent another day of telephone diplomacy trying to reach an agreement over the Irish border dilemma.

But by last night there was still no sign of a break through.

EU Commission boss Jean-Clause Juncker slapped a new hard deadline on Sunday night for a divorce deal to be agreed before next week’s crunch EU leaders’ summit.

A spokesman said: “President Juncker is a born optimist...but it takes two to tango, it takes two to be optimists”.

The PM’s official spokesman admitted: “There is more work to be done in terms of reaching a deal”.

One DUP MP said: “We’ve got loads of Tories coming up to us saying ‘keep going, hang in there’. “Theresa’s problems aren’t with us, they’re with her own side.”

A prominent Tory backbencher also hit out at Dublin for delaying a deal.

Leave backer Bernard Jenkin said: “The Irish Government is being played like a harp by the EU Commission, who have an agenda of their own.

“If there is no deal it is because of the EU not us. Why will they not talk about trade?”

ECJ blacklash over plan to SUE countries for not taking in migrants BRUSSELS was hit with a furious backlash for planning to sue three countries refusing to take migrants. Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary were referred to the European Court of Justice for failing to comply with asylum seeker quotas. They have rejected the EU’s mandatory resettlement scheme, saying it threatens security and sovereignty. The trio could be heavily fined for breach of EU law.
