Please don't unjustifiably insult me. For this case, "Enshrined in law" means, in ordinary language, that statute states the date of leaving the EU. For example reported in:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44623619
Parliament could repeal the EU Withdrawal Act, though I'm not sure of the mechanism other than specific primary legislation (rather than an amendment to a motion).

Re: Brexit
Emergency legislation could be used in a very short timescale if there’s the will in Parliament. There are a number of instances of rushed legislation. Here are two examples:
Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act 1974 was announced on 25th November 1974, passing on the 29th of the same month. More recently the Criminal Justice (Terrorism and Conspiracy) Act 1998 passed in just two days during summer recess.
As soon as it gets framed as a national security/civil contingencies manner due process goes out the window.

Re: Brexit
I don’t see it as fanciful. If Parliament wants to extend article 50 or have a second referendum they aren’t going to sit at the beginning of March and go “ach let’s just leave we’ve run out of time, it takes about six weeks to introduce primary legislation”.
They will make it work, if that’s what’s they want to do. It’s the Parliamentary arithmetic I’d be most worried about, not the clock.

Didn't Farage say before the result that if it was 52:48, it wouldn't be the end of the matter ? It wasn't a decisive, opinion has shifted, and people really don't know what they were going to get with a Brexit vote. Incredibly they still don't.
Trouble is, as Brexiters have eventually realised, all exit options are considerably worse than we have now. This has caused them to steadily implode in a puff of reality...

Well, of course you don't. You're going off into the realms of imagination, finding devices the Parliament might use to repeal Brexit because time is short. It's the government of the day that has to introduce primary legislation.
If you're mooting that the Tory led government will repeal Brexit then that really is fanciful.

Nope the exit options are project fear from pathetic Remainers in Government/Civil Service.
However- It has done no such thing. In actual fact, I’ve seen a lot of Remainers come out, who’ve accepted they lost the Referendum and have now seen the EU’s true colours during the negotiations and would now vote leave in second referendum, they also cherish true democracy and that the overriding principle is that it is this that actually matters.
I absolutely know of no leave voter who I personally know, who’s changed their mind and still want to leave more than ever.
Remainers are likelier to get more than they bargained for when leave wins again.

Private Member’s Bills?
Literally any MP, including opposition MPs, can introduce legislation.

Your problem is that the two Acts you cited had little (if any)opposition.
This would not apply to any attempt to repeal the EU withdrawal act.

There are parliamentary standing orders that govern how Private Members' Bills get priority over other business.
Have you thought this through fully or are you on a wing and a prayer?

Re: Brexit
Come March there may be little opposition on the basis of returning the question to the people in a further referendum.
One thing that’s clear is Parliament is against no deal. The idea it will be passive and “run out of time” is in fact fanciful.
If framed as a national security issue it can easily be done. Private Member’s Bills cannot be dismissed if they have support. Although I believe the Government would introduce the legislation to avoid a confidence vote anyway.

Read the Parliamentary Standing Orders regarding Private Members' Bills.
