DOJ to make new announcement on E.U1

Post by archigabe » Tue Dec 11, 2007 1:14 pm

I heard on the grapevine that the department is reviewing it's policy because of the cases coming up for hearing in the High Court. There might be an announcement by the Minister in late december or early january on a policy change. This will probably only impact E.U1 applications from people whose status was legal in Ireland when the application was made.

I don't know if there will be a legal impact for damage claims for new cases filed in the courts after the announcement.

It will be a shameful thing to do after all the agony they made innocent to go through.

The DoJ will certainly spend their 2008 annual budget on claim settlements.

if they do change the "rules", does anyone know if couples who have already been rejected (and received stamp 3) can re-apply?

It'd be stupid if they do this...

They already have everything in record, if they just request people that had already sent their paperwork to send it again - means they'll just backlog themselves even further with a wave of applications.

The best solution would be to simply grant EU Stamp 4 to all the people they already denied on the grounds of Regulation 3 (2) - provide they actually bothered to check that everything else was in place before simply slapping the application down.

Just heard from a friend back in Ireland that some solicitors are refusing to take cases for EU-1

don't know how much truth is in this.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

As far as I know, they went back on that and decided to settle cases individually.Nothing official,just someting I heard on the grapevine.But that could be the case in the future when the E.U commission finally makes a formal complaint.

That might not necessarily be the case...it can be that they have a large number of cases involving E.U1 refusals so they are waiting to finish existing cases before they take up new ones, or they might not want to take up cases that are too complicated or similar to the 'Kumar' case.

Back when we contacted some solicitors to take up our case, almost all of them said they would call back and they never did. only one of them called back and asked us to come to their office and when we went to meet them they said they had a lot of similar E.U1 cases with them so their caseload was heavier than usual.
