Part of the opinion states

"The principles of good faith and sincere cooperation must also be observed, in order to prevent abuse of the procedure laid down in Article 50 TEU."
In other words, the UK must want to cancel Brexit, not just improve its negotiation position.

Also, the UK cannot just re-start the clock - if the revocation is not sincere then it is not valid. If EU27 are not convinced that UK is acting in good faith, and this view is upheld by the ECJ, then the UK does not have the right to unilaterally revoke.
