The high court judges disagree with you

We cannot leave the EU until the ECA has been repealed and appropriate legislation put in it's place and since A50 starts that process and cannot be stopped it is very much part of the process ,how much the two are linked is now up to the supreme court to decide ,i suspect they will stay with the original decision that invoking A50 ultimately leads to the repeal of the ECA 1972 and therefore must be put through Parliament
