News Three members of TGC elevated to B panel 12/07/2018 Emma Price Sian Reeves Their appointments are from 1 September 2018 for a period of 5 years. Court of Appeal hands down important judgment on Zambrano principle 13/12/2017 The Court of Appeal accepted SSHD s argument that the CJEU s recent judgment in Case C-133/15 Chavez-Vilchez & ors [2017] 3 WLR 1326 did not represent any kind of sea-change to the fundamental approach to be taken (para 74, per Irwin LJ) and that the test remained one of compulsion. Thus the correct approach, in a case involving a British citizen child, was to ask whether the situation of the child was such that, if the non-eu citizen parent left the EU, the British citizen would be unable to care for the child, so that the child would be compelled to leave (para 77). While consideration of respect for family life was a relevant factor, it could not be a trump card enabling a court or tribunal to conclude that a child would be compelled to leave because family life would be diminished by the departure of one parent (para 78); where the British parent was capable of looking after the child, there was no proper basis for a finding of compulsion (para 79). Similarly, in an adult case, the test remained one of compulsion (para 81). page 6 of 8
7 Court of Appeal hears tax credits appeal 24/10/2017 The appellant argues that the First-tier and Upper Tribunal erred when determining that her husband, a national of Ghana, was ordinarily resident in the UK such that she should have made a joint claim. Judgment has been reserved. Court of Appeal hears significant EU law proportionality and free movement appeal 20/10/2017 SSWP appeals against the decision of the Upper Tribunal in TG v SSWP [2015] UKUT (AAC), in which Julia Smyth represented SSWP. The appeal concerns two discrete issues. The first relates to the decision of the Secretary of State for the Home Department to continue the Worker Registration Scheme between 2009 and That scheme applied to nationals of eight of the ten Member States which acceded to the EU in One of the questions for the court, following the decision of the Supreme Court in R (Lumsdon and others) v Legal Services Board [2015] UKSC 41, is the appropriate level of scrutiny of such a decision. SSWP s case is that a proportionality review must be conducted by reference to the manifestly inappropriate test. The second issue is the quality of residence needed to acquire a right of permanent residence pursuant to Article 17(1)(a) of Directive 2004/38. Court of Appeals hears Zambrano appeals 14/07/2017 The appeals concern the application, in different scenarios, of the principle set out by the Court of Justice of the European Union in the case of Zambrano v Office national de l emploi [2012] QB 265, recently considered by the CJEU in Case C-133/15 Chavez Vilchez and others (judgment on 10 May 2017). Judgment has been reserved. Challenge to Irish deportation policy dismissed by Administrative Court 03/02/2017 The Claimant argued that the policy on the deportation of Irish nationals was ultra vires the legislative provisions of the UK Borders Act 2007, but the Court rejected that challenge, accepting the Secretary of State s submission that s.32 of the Act did not require a deportation order to be made in the Claimant s case. The Court also rejected a reasons challenge advanced by the Claimant. The judgment is reported as: R (Connell) v SSHD [2017] EWHC 100 (Admin). Court of Appeal dismisses ESA / EU jobseeker appeal 21/04/2016 The Appellant, represented by Helen Mountfield QC and Tom Royston, had argued that ESA was a labour market benefit, such that jobseekers from other Member States ought to be able to claim it. Domestic regulations prevent them from doing so. The Court of Appeal accepted the Secretary of State s submissions that the Court of Justice of the European Union had taken a narrow approach to what was a labour market benefit, and that ESA s predominant function was to provide a subsistence income for those with limited capability to work, rather than to facilitate access to the labour market in the EU law sense.

8 Judgment has been reserved. The Appellant, represented by Helen Mountfield QC and Tom Royston, seeks to establish that Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) is a labour market benefit payable to jobseekers from other Member States. Administrative Ct refers question to CJEU on rights of dual nationals 08/03/2016 The case concerns a Spanish national who worked in the UK, subsequently acquired British nationality and several years later sought to claim a residence right under Directive 2004/38 for her third country national spouse. The question referred to the Court of Justice of the European Union asks whether a dual national continues to benefit from the Directive in such circumstances. Court of Appeal confirms Upper Tribunal s decision in Bilal Ahmed 08/03/2016 In an extempore judgment, the CA dismissed Mr Ahmed s appeal against the decision of the Upper Tribunal (R (Bilal Ahmed) v SSHD (EEA/s10 appeal rights: effect) [2015] UKUT (IAC)). The CA accepted that Mr Ahmed, a non EEA national considered by SSHD to have entered a sham marriage with an EEA national, did not have an appeal right which was suspensive of his removal. page 8 of 8
