Should I go for appeal or wait for the New Residence permit rule come into effect?

[tapash]

My wife's EEA PR application was rejected and we have received a date in March 2018 to appear in the court for appeal application.

I recently read from the Homeoffice newsletter that they will make a simplified process for those who has been living in UK for 5 years, and would receive PR. Can anyone clarify this please? When this would be come into effect?

Should I go for appeal or wait for the New Residence permit rule come into effect?

None of what has been published following the negotiations so far has been enacted into law, and cannot be applied before the UK leaves the EU (29 March 2019, expected subject to transition period). Also there hasn't bee a new draft Immigration Act issued. Whilst I can't comment on your case I guess you cannot plan on the basis of new rules where we don't know yet how they will be worded in law.

Wrong. There is nothing to prohibit the UK government from granting leave to remain to someone who has a right of residence under EEA law. (It would be ineffective if the person had the right of abode.) The new system of granting leave is intended to come into operation later this year.
