Also depends on how well the Act is drafted. Grieve et al. are well-known for being a bit thick on that front, but they had a lot of help this time and probably spent months drafting the Bill. Unlikely to be a lawful way around it, but we'll see.

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostNo, negotiating with foreign powers is a royal prerogative and therefore within the remit of BJ as a minister.
Also, in vetoing an extension he would be acting entirely within EU law, which takes precedence over UK law.
The snag is if the current ridiculous "No No Deal" law receives royal assent then HMQ is unlikely to want to consent to an action whose result would be the opposite, especially as the Tories no longer have a majority in Parliament.
A50 dictates that the departing state has no veto on a Council decision.
It's debatable whether they could block RA, but probably won't.
(I'm a leaver, BTW, but you need to understand the reality)

My thoughts too. If extension offers, and parliament insists extension is taken, then Boris has to take it? ..
