Julia Smyth successfully represented the Secretary of State for the Home Department in Fatima & ors v SSHD [2019] EWCA Civ 124 (judgment 7 February 2019). The case concerned the limits on the rights of “extended family members” under EU law.
The Court of Appeal accepted that recent CJEU authorities had not changed the requirement for dependency on an EEA national, and that no right could be derived from the British citizen sponsor’s cross-border work. The Second and Third Appellants’ appeals were dismissed accordingly. The First Appellant’s appeal was dismissed as academic.
