That would make the ECJ an ECHR institution, not the other way around.
The ECHR far predates the EU. The ECHR is thus most certainly NOT an EU institution. If the EU collapsed tomorrow, the ECHR would still be there.
If BrExit is permitted to go ahead, we would still be bound by the ECHR.

No, you couldn't. He was plain wrong.
