The Guardian reported under the headline "Brexit: Gove refuses to rule out ignoring any law passed to stop no deal":
Michael Gove has repeatedly refused to rule out the possibility that the government could ignore any law passed by parliament to stop a no-deal Brexit
and
Asked again whether it would be extraordinary for a government not to abide by the law, Gove said: “We will see what the legislation says when it is brought forward.
Concerning extensions, all I found out is the actual article1 reading
- The Treaties shall cease to apply to the State in question from the date of entry into force of the withdrawal agreement or, failing that, two years after the notification referred to in paragraph 2, unless the European Council, in agreement with the Member State concerned, unanimously decides to extend this period.
(emphasis mine)
doesn't specify how extensions are requested, in fact, it doesn't even say anything about a request, just "in agreement with the Member State".
So, the final question:
If the parliament were to pass legislation mandating extension and the government refuses to ask the European Council, can one of these happen:
- the EU just says: "Well, parliament said it, so the UK want to extend, we'll decide if we want to as well"
- parliament (possibly through some representative e.g. speaker) decides to ask themselves
Please don't question if practically the Council could agree internally at short notice, just assume it could happen.
If you want, I'd be happy to see information on whether such an extension without government involvement would practically work, although that is not the primary question.

Article 10 of the Treaty of the European Union states that:
Member States are represented in the European Council by their Heads of State or Government
It follows, therefore, that any notification made to the European Council must come from either the relevant country's Head of State or Head of Government. In the case of the United Kingdom, it would have to come from either Boris Johnson (as head of government) or HM The Queen (as head of state).

The correct thing to do in such a case is to call a vote of no confidence, and topple the government. Parliment can then give it's confidence to someone who will make that request
However, given that parliament taken as a whole has shown an aversion so far to actually voting for anything definitive, rather choosing to just put spokes in the wheels of other plans, it is debatable if they would go down the correct route or just panic at an even later stage.

The Supreme Court is increasingly being asked to rule on issues of this kind - such as the action being brought by Gina Miller and Sir John Major next week. As British politicians begin to shun convention, which has historically governed our country, I foresee a new body of competence building with the SC to deal with such matters as this.
