Re: Brexit
Article 50: Law officer says UK can cancel Brexit
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla...itics-46428579
Quote:
The non-binding opinion was delivered by the European Court of Justice's advocate general.
In a written statement, the ECJ said Mr Campos Sanchez-Bordona's opinion was that if a country decided to leave the EU, it should also have the power to change its mind during the two-year exit process specified in Article 50 of the EU treaty.
And it should be able to do so without needing the consent of the other 27 member states.

Quote:
The ECJ statement said the advocate general had proposed that the Court of Justice should "declare that Article 50 allows the unilateral revocation of the notification of the intention to withdraw from the EU".
It added: "That possibility continues to exist until such time as the withdrawal agreement is formally concluded."

We knew that anyway really.
