Why would it? On what grounds? I haven't found anything that says a nation is entitled to an embassy.
Anyway it's very very unlikely it would ever get that far. The UK Government hasn't acted on that law yet and if they ever do then there would be months or years of court action (our courts) to sort it. No one wants that. However we need to keep challenging Ecuador because they've started this issue with us and we want to resolve it. We were just abiding by EU law, giving him his legal rights, and now he skipped bail and somehow has Asylum...
