Rejected petition Undertake a judicial review of the lawfulness of delaying the UK's exit from EU.

The EU Bill received Royal Assent to become an Act of Parliament. This Act specifically legislated for exit from the EU at 11pm on March the 29th, and for an end of the supremacy of EU law in the UK. However, EU law still supersedes the UK's, and the UK is still in the EU. How is this legal?
