Rejected petition Pass retrospective legislation that the UK did not leave the EU after all
If there is no deal by the brexit deadline it may be possible for the UK parliament to retrospectively annul the Article 50 notification so that the UK can be regarded as never having left.
Parliament is sovereign, it can do what it likes. It can act retrospectively.

Professor Vernon Bogdanor told the BBC:
“The Parliament is sovereign, it can do what it likes. It can act retrospectively.
“Together with the EU, it could pass retrospective legislation extending the Brexit date deeming that the United Kingdom had not left the EU after all.
“It is legally possible. The EU would have to agree - and they probably would. They don’t want a no deal.”
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't solely responsible for the issue you raise. Rejoining the EU or retrospective attempts to extend membership would be a matter for negotiation with the EU.
