Both Conservative and Labour parties voted 498 to 114 to trigger A50, the current parliament is unlikely to reverse brexit.Campaigners had asked the ECJ to rule on whether Article 50, which legally started the Brexit process, can be revoked by the country that triggered it. The text of the treaty clause is unclear and subject to dispute.
The ruling will come after the court's top legal advisor, the EU advocate general, recommended this week that the UK be given the power to revoke Article 50 without the consent of the EU's other member states.
If the recommendation is followed, as the advocate general's suggestions usually are, then an accidental no-deal Brexit would effectively be taken off the table, as the Government could stop it in any circumstances.
Does this mean that Theresa May could literally withdraw the letter or does she need the support of Parliament?

You'd need a new parliament to do that.
