in Accordance with article 50 of the EU Treaty, any member state may decide, in accordance with his constitutional right to withdraw from the EU. This intention of the member state to the EU Council to share what the United Kingdom on the 29. March 2017 has done. As of this date period will run for a two year, during which they may be negotiated an exit agreement.
If this deadline has expired – so on 29. March 2019 – enters the UK from the EU; regardless of whether an exit agreement is concluded or not.
in theory the member States could agree on an earlier date for a Brexit. You can extend the deadline, Vice versa also. This requires, however, unanimity.
What is article 50 of the EU Treaty does not regulate?
The rule says nothing about whether or not to exit an EU-Declaration can also take it back. For the case that the Brussels exit was agreement in the Parliament, is currently a second Referendum on remaining in the EU into the game. This can be useful, but only if the UK could take his resignation at all readily. This is why this is an important legal question. Because it concerns the interpretation of article 50 of the EU Treaty, the European court of justice.

But that would be “incompatible” with the objective of the EU treaties, to create an ever closer Union among the peoples of Europe. A state should not be against his will, forced to leave the European Union.
Why should be a consent of the remaining members of the EU necessary?
The EU Commission and the Council of the member countries had worked to ensure that a withdrawal should only be with the consent of the other EU-States possible. A idea: countries could agree to exit and take back to claims against the EU to enforce.

Brexit-the opponents could give the judgment from Luxembourg back some wind. In the London Parliament, no majority for the agreement is not in sight.
