Government is appealing but I have doubts that it will change the outcome. It was a very quick turn around for verdict and though it seems to be, on what everybody is calling, "constitutionally untested grounds", I don't think it would have been so swift if the high court wasn't sure it was legit.
I'm unsure how many MPs are still feeling pressured into responding to the referendum as the democratic will of the people, though sure the pressure exists in some constituencies. It's problematic for MP's to ignore the actual breakdown of votes in their constituencies (where we are talking some extraordinarily slim majorities), and what that means in the context of democracy, to then justify abandoning their own political stance/common sense chasing some popularised twisted take on democracy spun by the Tories and media. With that in mind .. I've always considered that part of an MP's remit is to represent the best interests of those parts of their constituency that are ineligible or too apathetic to vote? But that's neither here nor there ...
That aside, I'm feeling pretty confident that it will be put under so much scrutiny in Parliament that it could be deemed too risky or detrimental to national interests (economy, social ambitions of the state, international politics etc.) and might not happen on any recognisably "Brexit" terms. Obviously, best case would be if thrown out, as deemed fucking mental— oh and 'dis May shamed out of office for being the pandering, convictionless cunt she is.
