Not quite.

But triggering Article 50 would NOT repeal the European Communities Act -
that requires legislation.

True. However, triggering Article 50 would mean that we *will* leave the
EU and that will take away rights that Parliament granted when it passed
the European Communities Act.

Pity May didn't trigger it while she had the chance before those immigrants
won that legal challenge (one can only hope one night down a dark alley...).
The EU wouldn't give a damn about legal squabbles here, once its triggered its
a done deal as far as they're concerned and all legal challenges would have
been moot.
