Regrettably, we don't have the mandate to represent people who continue to face difficulties in exercising their residence rights.
Our approach is always to identify what rights an enquirer has and then to encourage that person to raise the matter again with the Home Office. This has been successful in many cases.
If that does not work, we can refer them to other organisations which can take further action including court proceedings.
For the UK, these include:
-SOLVIT, the EU's network of government officials, who can try to achieve a compromise.
-the AIRE centre which can take up cases free of charge for persons on a limited income;
-ECAS which has a partnership with lawyers to provide free legal representation for persons on a limited income.
Enquirers also have the possibility of raising the issue with their MP or MEP, who are under a duty to respond. In serious cases, we also suggest that the enquirer send an official complaint to the European Commission and/or the European Parliament.
Perhaps you can tell me more about your particular situation?
Basically by the sounds of it, all you do is quote the relevent Euroean regulation/directive at someone, which, for the most part, they are probably already aware of by the time they have gone to the trouble of making an application only for it to be refused. I assume you get funding from the European Commission to do this. It's a shame they can't be bothered to fund someone to give more practical advice support and representation.EU_lawyer wrote:YEA is aware of these problems and some of our experts participated in a report for the European Parliament in which we identified the problems and recommended further action.
