"The UK Government opposed [the application] but the ECJ was perfectly entitled, if not obliged, to deal with it."

Absolutely. And the way the ECJ should deal with it is to hold the application inadmissible.

Sir Steven Laws is absolutely right. The courts' function is to resolve legal disputes. Not provide legal advice. Here, this matter is not in dispute because it is not government policy to unilaterally withdraw the Article 50 notification.

This is a political application brought for the sole purpose of putting political pressure on the Government to change its policy. That is a fundamental abuse of court process, and it should not be tolerated.
