The European Court of Justice (ECJ) dismissed the three cases brought by UK citizens that challenged the loss of their rights as EU citizens as a result of Brexit.
Background or the case
What did the ECJ say?
The ECJ dismissed the appeal and explained that:
“the loss of the status of citizen of the European Union, and consequently the loss of the rights attached to that status, is an automatic consequence of the sole sovereign decision taken by the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union, and not of the withdrawal agreement or the Council’s decision approving that agreement.”
