Summary:Brexit is new territory in European Union law. The article elaborates its different dimensions. It distinguishes three groups of issues. Firstly it explores the legal situation between the referendum and the notification of Britain's withdrawal from its (already specifically reduced) membership in the European Union in the light of the principle of sincere co-operation. Secondly it ponders on the consequences for Union law if the British government and/or Parliament would ignore the result of the referendum. Thirdly it assesses the legal consequences of the notification of withdrawal for the time between the notification and the termination of the applicability of Union law to Britain as well as the possible content of an agreement on the arrangements of the withdrawal and of a future Treaty between Britain and the European Union.
