Talk:European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017

Current or spent legislation after triggering of article 50?

edit

Assuming this bill becomes law once Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty has been triggered by the Prime Minister will the act be considered as "Current legislation" or do we class it as "Spent" legislation? (2A02:C7F:5621:2A00:5538:B9C3:A070:EA96 (talk) 20:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC))Reply

Spent, definitely, once the Council of the European Union by public announcement (such as press releases) the receipt of the notification from the British Government, through the British Permanent Representative ("ambassador"), also of (or presumably) their acceptance of the notification as a valid one and in order. -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 21:57, 7 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
Is it spent? If the UK ever did rejoin the EU wouldn't it still be valid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.230.58 (talk) 12:48, 1 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
Maybe arguably, a spent enactment per Statute Law Revision Act 1867, or not spent, given that the purpose of the notification itself has not yet been accomplished, and in principle the notification and its purposes within the scope of Article 50, and in respect of EURATOM or, say, Gibraltar, could be open to some as yet unforeseen legal challenge or claim.

Regarding the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (the SBAs) (possible trolling)

edit

The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (the Cyprus British SBAs) are not a member (in its own right) of or otherwise (by virtue either of the United Kingdom or of Cyprus) part of the European Union (EU) and thus also of the European Economic Area (EEA), backed up by multiple sources [4][5][6][7]. Any attempt to restore the name of the place in relation to Brexit is just simply time-wasting trolling. -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 19:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
