"The European Court of Justice has ruled that the UK can unilaterally revoke Article 50 and put a stop to Brexit. But what exactly is Article 50, how does it work and how does the ECJ's ruling affect things? Read on to find out."
"Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon gives any EU member state the right to quit unilaterally and outlines the procedure for doing so. It gives the leaving country two years to negotiate an exit deal. When the UK triggered Article 50, it was thought that once in motion it couldn't be stopped except by unanimous consent of all member states. The ECJ's ruling changes that completely."
"No country has ever left the EU before, and there was no way to legally leave the EU before the Treaty of Lisbon was signed in 2007."
In other words, the EU has rules to protect the rights of member states. Until those rules get in the way of the EU's hold on power. Then those rules can be nullified at will when the EU courts rule in favor of the EU.
???This ECJ ruling has found in favour of the member state’s wishes, not the reverse.
I’ve read both Maastricht and Lisbon. Nothing in either allows for what the UK court just ruled.
