Sir Steven Laws, like so many in this country, is hung up on the myth that the EU institutions try to interfere in member states' national affairs.

IF the CJEU judges agree with the Advocate General's opinion, all they will be doing is shrugging and saying "You can withdraw the notice if you want to".

The court would not be forcing the UK, or its Parliament or its government to do anything at all.

Withdrawing the Article 50 notice would require an Act of the UK Parliament to authorise it. No decision of the CJEU could "interfere with" or in any way affect Parliament's decision.

Laws is just knee-jerking and betraying his unmitigated prejudice.
