From Dominic Grieve himself:

The mechanics are irrelevant. We aren’t in a position to leave on 29th March, so it’s a matter of when we ask, not if. There’s no way Parliament wouldn’t vote to extend (given they want to remain anyway).

It’s good to know the EU have their finger on the pulse though.
