In the national referendum on 24 June 2016, the UK decided to leave the EU.  Once the government notifies the European Council that the UK has decided to leave the EU, the two-year period for the negotiation for exit under Article 50 of the Treaty of the European Union will start. The legal implications of the UK leaving the EU in areas such as the resolution of cross-border disputes are as yet, unclear.

Although the current legal framework will not change until the exit negotiations between the UK and the EU are finalised, there is little doubt that the UK's exit will have an effect on the existing body of laws relating to jurisdiction, governing law, enforcement of EU judgments and service of English proceedings in the EU.
