The European Union’s highest court ruled on Monday that Britain could unilaterally reverse its decision to split from the 28-nation political bloc any time before the March 29 deadline to leave the European Union. The ruling also said that if E.U. leaders grant Britain an extension period after March 29 to keep negotiating, the British about-face could take place during that time too.
The decision came a day before the British parliament is set to vote on Prime Minister Theresa May’s unpopular Brexit deal. Pro-Brexit hard-liners say it keeps their country unacceptably entangled inside the E.U. market. Pro-E. U. campaigners say it would inflict major harm on the British economy and strip Britain’s voice in European decision-making while offering little benefit to the country.
