Article 50
The UK Government has agreed with the EU a further extension of the Article 50 period to 31 January 2020. If the Withdrawal Agreement is ratified by both sides before that date the UK will leave EU earlier, but in that case it would leave with a deal. The legal default in UK and EU law remains that, until a deal is agreed and ratified, there is a risk of a no deal exit at the end of the extension period on 31 January 2020.
