If you intend to provide a space between the new concrete wall and the brick, there are stay-in-place systems that can be used. Ideally that space should be about 3" or so.
Google a product called StayForm or check the link.

I think the new concrete wall is parallel to the existing, not perpendicular.

put elastic material in between (to isolate the brick wall from stress coming from the concrete 5 cm would be good)
styrodur or similar and do the wall pouring in steps. Depends on strongness and condition of the brickwall how much (level) you can pour in one step. I would like to suggest to do some small calculations before ;)
