''UK - European Union - Brexit.''
1.  ''Law - noun.''


Brexit Day is the date on which the legal changes for the UK to leave the EU are scheduled to take effect.
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two parties.


Following the triggering of Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty in March 2017, Brexit Day was orginally established as Friday 29 March 2019.  
Essential elements of an enforceable contract under English law include offer and acceptance, consideration, and legal capacity to contract (together with other legal requirements).




Following requests from the UK and decisions of the EU 27, potential Brexit Days now include 31 October 2019.
The fundamentals of contract law are similar throughout the countries of Europe, the US and many other jurisdictions.  


Later and earlier dates are also possible, depending on negotiations and votes in the UK parliament.
However, each jurisdiction has its own individual contract law and, although these may be similar in many respects, they can also be significantly different in essential elements, for example in relation to the requirement for [[consideration]].  




No Deal and No Brexit both remain possible, though less likely, outcomes.
2. ''Law - verb.''
