Current or spent legislation after triggering of article 50?[edit]

Assuming this bill becomes law once Article 50 of the Lisbon treaty has been triggered by the Prime Minister will the act be considered as "Current legislation" or do we class it as "Spent" legislation? (2A02:C7F:5621:2A00:5538:B9C3:A070:EA96 (talk) 20:48, 7 February 2017 (UTC))[reply]

Spent, definitely, once the Council of the European Union by public announcement (such as press releases) the receipt of the notification from the British Government, through the British Permanent Representative ("ambassador"), also of (or presumably) their acceptance of the notification as a valid one and in order. -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 21:57, 7 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is it spent? If the UK ever did rejoin the EU wouldn't it still be valid? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.27.230.58 (talk) 12:48, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe arguably, a spent enactment per Statute Law Revision Act 1867, or not spent, given that the purpose of the notification itself has not yet been accomplished, and in principle the notification and its purposes within the scope of Article 50, and in respect of EURATOM or, say, Gibraltar, could be open to some as yet unforeseen legal challenge or claim.

Royal Assent[edit]

This article needs to be changed to a Act as the bill will get Royal Assent at 1100 GMT today. (MOTORAL1987 (talk) 07:40, 16 March 2017 (UTC))[reply]

I've requested the move at WP:RMT. Opera hat (talk) 12:01, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (the SBAs) (possible trolling)[edit]

The Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia (the Cyprus British SBAs) are not a member (in its own right) of or otherwise (by virtue either of the United Kingdom or of Cyprus) part of the European Union (EU) and thus also of the European Economic Area (EEA), backed up by multiple sources [4][5][6][7]. Any attempt to restore the name of the place in relation to Brexit is just simply time-wasting trolling. -- 87.102.116.36 (talk) 19:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
