Revocation of Article 50

Following an emergency hearing that was held on 27 November 2018 when the European Court of Justice was asked to decide whether Article 50 can be reversed unilaterally,[2] the Advocate General Manuel Campos Sánchez-Bordona delivered his Opinion in the case (C-621/18 Wightman on revocation of Article 50)[3] on 4 December 2018.[4] 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".[5] The Luxembourg Judges, who follow the AG's Opinion in 80% of cases,[6] are expected to deliver their ruling relatively quickly, given the urgency of the issue.[7]
