What are the options by which Article 50 can be triggered by the government?
Will the government be able to invoke Article 50 without requiring a parliamentary vote, or will it be able invoke Article 50 while relying on another legal justification/mechanism, such as the royal prerogative?
If there is no requirement for a Parliamentary vote, is/are the other option(s) for invoking Article 50 open to a legal challenge and what are your thoughts about the likelihood of such challenges succeeding?
(I understand a number of challenges as to the government's competence to invoke Article 50 are either underway or in contemplation).
Thank you for organising this Q&A and your succinct, clear and highly informative videos!
