That is a great question.
The Lieutenant Governor in Council is in charge of the recall vote an executing the results of the vote. Since the LG does not answer to the UCP and is in fact appointed by the Federal government (PM), I see no reason why the LG would not follow through with stripping an MLA of their title and position.
Once the MLA is officially stripped of their title and position, they would no longer have access to be in the legislature. If they tried to pretend they were still an MLA then they can be arrested and charged.
I am not sure how the UCP could really ignore these rules, especially since they created them.
