Özet

Withdrawal from the European Union (EU) has become a legal and factual reality with the triggering of Article 50 of the Treaty on EU (TEU), which was introduced by Treaty of Lisbon (2009), by United Kingdom to withdraw from the EU. Acknowledging that it has been reached to a certain degree of maturity, this paper aims to examine both the legal and practical dimension of the Article 50 TEU, thus, to resolve the legal framework drawn by Article 50 TEU on withdrawal from the EU by combining it with the practice under Brexit process. Consequently, for now, it would be presented that, with the ongoing process of withdrawal from the EU under Article 50 TEU, some parts of the Article 50 have been clarified due to judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) or practice, and some parts of the Article 50 have not been yet brought before CJEU or debated in practice, however, they might be clarified in the future.
