Brexit refers to the United Kingdom's ongoing withdrawal from the EU under Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty. On June 23, 2016, UK voters opted to leave the EU in a national referendum. On March 29, 2017, the Government of the UK invoked Article 50, which triggered a 2-year process for negotiating and concluding the member state's departure from the EU. Although Britain was scheduled to depart the political union on March 29, 2019, this deadline was subsequently extended to October 31, 2019. The departure of the UK has numerous legal implications, which are the subject of ongoing debate and academic research.
