title = "Does Member State withdrawal automatically extinguish EU citizenship?",
abstract = "In 2018 a preliminary reference request to the Court of Justice of the European Union asking whether Brexit would automatically extinguish EU citizenship for UK nationals was overturned on appeal. This chapter considers the counterfactual if the Court of Justice had indeed consid-ered the question before the Withdrawal Agreement came into force. It summarises the place of EU citizenship in the Brexit negotiations; presents the arguments for and against automatic ex-tinction and their underpinning methodologies; and proposes a compromise position of condi-tional extinction of EU citizenship. It concludes with a warning that, if EU citizenship were ever emancipated from Member State nationality, this should be achieved through a democratic exer-cise by citizens rather than the judicial process. {\textcopyright} The Editors and Contributors Severally 2022.
