EU decides if Britain can reverse Brexit

The European Court of Justice will issue its opinion in a case against the UK’s Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union today, establishing whether the UK is able to reverse its decision to trigger Article 50, which began its process of leaving the EU, without the agreement of the EU’s 27 other member states.

A ruling has been requested by the Court of Session, Scotland’s supreme civil court. Claimants in the case include a number of members of parliament from the Scottish Green, Scottish National Party and Labour.

Last week, the ECJ said that it would “quickly” decide whether the Brexit process can be reversed, a decision that could eventually lead to the UK holding a second referendum. However, a final judgement is not expected to be made until January.

The hearing will take place at the Court of Justice of the European Union, Luxembourg, starting at 8am London time.
