The ECJ may agree with Sir Steven and overrule the AG. It would not be for the first time. Whether the issue is justiciable is a matter for the court, of course.
The hype is overdone, yet again. In the end we all know the ultimate decision of whether to have and if so how to accommodate a referendum on this issue is for the politicians.
However, the AG is clearly right. As a matter of general principle a party giving notice effective from a certain date can withdraw it until such time that it expires. I do not know if the contrary has ever been successfully argued. But, of course, in this case I expect that as in the case of giving the notice domestic law compliance is required as well as the appropriate political decisions. It seems the excitement is overdone.
