It all depends on whether the act of invoking A50 inevitably leads to the repeal of the ECA 1972. If it does, then only Parliament can authorise it. If not, government can act by prerogative right now and Parliament will become involved when needed. The high court has ruled one way, but the argument is complex and nuanced. It is quite possible that the Supreme Court will rule the other way.
