THE judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Wightman and Others v Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, Case C-621/18, EU:C:2018:999, that a Member State of the European Union (EU) may unilaterally revoke a notified intention to withdraw from the EU, settles a legal question that had been posed ever since the United Kingdom notified its intention to leave the EU in terms of Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). The outcome of the case was not wholly unexpected with the balance of legal opinion broadly tending to believe that a right unilaterally to revoke a withdrawal notification was consistent with the unilateral nature of the right to withdraw as provided for in Article 50 TEU.
