The issue of the United Kingdom's exit from the European Union (the so-called Brexit) means a turning point both in the history of the European integration and also of the United Kingdom. The 51% of the British electorate voted in favour of leaving the EU, which raised up uncountable legal, political and economic questions to be answered. The legal questions raised by the Brexit could be categorized into some groups. According to Takis Tridimas, there are open procedural, institutional and administrative issues of the withdrawal, which organize the 'know how' of the process; but we could talk about the future relationship forms between the United Kingdom and European Union; and the future of the European integration paradigm; or about the development and changes of the European Union's and United Kingdom's legal system due to the Brexit. In this paper - after presenting the historical background of a member state's withdrawal-I focus on the summary of the main public law questions opened to be answered by the Brexit.
