The referendum on the United Kingdom leaving the European Union took place on 23 June 2016. With a turnout of over 71%, the Leave campaign gained the support of 52% of voters, against 48% for Remain.

This newsletter aims to analyse the legal consequences in the event the UK leaves the EU, more particularly regarding rules pertaining to State aid, and situations involving a commitment from the British authorities to compensate companies present on British soil for the potential negative consequences of Brexit – which may be construed as State aid.
