Article 50 shall enter into force? What next with Brexit?

Another highlight of Tuesday’s session, which undoubtedly will attract the attention of market observers is the decision of the Supreme Court in the UK, which will announce its decision regarding the European Article 50 – which allows to implement the process of leaving the Member State from the EU community.

 The decision should arise up to 10 minutes after the end of court sessions

  • If the Supreme Court does not accept Article 50, the Prime Minister May will   have to get parliamentary approval to launch it – so it will be necessary to prepare an additional law draft
  • However, this will not stop Brexit – because the two main parties say that they respect the referendum results
  • The final decision giving the Parliament the last word on the opening of negotiations should be positively welcomed by markets
  • Everyone is curious what role in the process will have Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

According to analysts, the pound sterling should react to the decision with another, modest appreciation. Parliament – if it obtains prior approval of the Supreme Court – certainly will vote in favor of Article 50.
