On 27 November 2018, the European Court of Justice heard the case brought by Andy Wightman and others (C-621/18 Wightman on revocation of Article 50). The Advocate General Manuel Campos Sánchez-Bordona delivered his Opinion on 4 December 2018.[2] In his Opinion, Article 50 allows the "unilateral revocation of the notification of the intention to withdraw from the EU, until such time as the Withdrawal Agreement is formally concluded".[3] The Luxembourg Judges, who follow the AG's Opinion in 80% of cases,[4] are expected to deliver their ruling relatively quickly, given the urgency of the issue.[5]
