I’ve seen past judgements where the courts go to Hansard to assess what Parliament intended when they passed the Benn Act. There can be little doubt that Parliament intended him to sign the letter and that didn’t need spelling out in the Act particularly as Boris’s trick has the effect of negating what Parliament intended.
Also there is no appeal in criminal cases to the ECJ except on grounds of failure to process the case properly.

I think he has abided by the request though and it seems the EU think they've got it too. All they're saying is 'we've received the request'. No one cares if it's signed or not because that's not a thing.
