27 of the EU's top legal advisors has argued that the UK has the power to unilaterally revoke Article 50 and immediately reverse the process of Brexit. Advocate General Campos Sanchez-Bordona, whose opinion is likely to be endorsed by the European Court of Justice (ECJ), said the decision to abandon Brexit would not need the endorsement of the remaining One EU member states, despite the insistence of the UK government that the choice to leave the bloc was irreversible. ECJ judges must now decide whether to formally endorse the opinion.
