Interventions - Court of Appeal (Things are heating up!)
Here for Good and the AIRE Centre have been granted permission to jointly intervene in the Court of Appeal case Celik v The Secretary of State for Home Department (CA-2022-002008). Here for Good and the AIRE Centre will jointly make oral and written submissions in the case.
Why does no charity intervene in Zambrano appeals such as in Akinsanya v SSHD????
Here for Good together with ILPA and the3million addressed issues faced by Celik in two letters sent to the Home Office.
Why does no charity send letters on behalf of Zambrano carers to the Home Office????
One of Here for Good's recommendations in the letters was for the Home Office to treat any such application for status under the EU Settlement Scheme made by the 31 December 2020 as an application for a Residence Card made under the EEA Regulations 2016.
Points to be debated / discussed:
- the interaction between the Covid-19 pandemic and the end of the transition period in December 2020;
- the correct interpretation of Part 2 of the WA and its personal scope;
- the applicability of the proportionality concept under EU law and as provided for in the Withdrawal Agreement; and
- the complicated relationship between the Withdrawal Agreement, the Citizen’s Rights Directive, the 2016 EEA Regulations and Appendix EU.
Good luck to Celik tomorrow!
