According to the rules , UNLESS the EU 27 all agree that we can stay after that date , we're leaving
The EU’s top court has ruled the UK can revoke Article 50 and halt Brexit without the permission of other member states.
A judgement by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on Monday gives the UK the right to unilaterally withdraw its notification to leave the EU.

Britain traded with the whole word under World Trade Organisation rules before it joind the common market, as it then was, so shouldn't Britain trade with the whole world after March using those same rules ?

You are not up to speed.

If The U.K. decides to play " Silly Buggers " they can withdraw Article 50 and after a few months submit it again.
This would then give us a further 2 years to agree a deal.
It's called " Playing The System "
Why not resubmit it on the day

What this means is that the EU can and maybe will force a no deal Brexit on Britain .

You're quite right thanks for the link . It highlights the fact the ECJ can still tell the UK what it can and can't do .
I suppose the point is now that they haven't given us an option to' leave later ', it's just the UK can just 'decide not to leave' .
It makes it even more the case that March the 29th is a date is doom
It's Leave or Leave as far as the public has instructed ...

That is pretty much what the EU have been pushing from the off. The unaccountable EU Commission don't give a toss about the impact on the UK or the impact on countries in the EU where there are close links. Oddly, the Republic of Ireland who will be massively impacted by a No Deal, have been pushing for a position that will cause the No Deal i.e. the Northern Ireland Backstop.
It's well engineered by the EU. Got to give the French and the Germans credit for such ingenuity.

There is only i flaw with your statement.
The World Trade Organisation only came into existence in 1995.
The U.K. joined The Common Market in 1972.
