There are no binding ones - constitutionally. It’s not possible. You are however (perhaps deliberately) ignoring the very powerful moral obligation of Parliament to do what has been committed to by manifesto, and yes, by referendum. I know there’s not a lot of precedent, hence my use of the phrase “limited precedent”
