Course content

The course will look in detail at European Community law, UK domestic regulations and the immigration rules which apply to citizens of EU member states and their families. The new Citizen’s Directive and Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 will be discussed. In particular, it will examine in detail:

• the range of people who benefit from EC law (‘qualified persons’)

• the position of family members of EEA nationals

• the new Citizen’s Directive: what stays the same and what changes

• rights to reside arising out of European Court of Justice case law and domestic courts

• filling in forms for EC residence documents

• rights of admission, rights to EC documents and withdrawal of EC rights

• appeal rights.

Objectives

At the conclusion of the course participants will have thoroughly reviewed UK law and practice in relation to EEA nationals and others, and good indicators will be given on how to deal with a range of cases of differing complexity.

The course is intended to assist solicitors and other advisers who encounter issues of EEA law and policy in relation to their immigration caseloads. Primarily intended as a general introduction to the area, it will also touch upon recent developments in law and policy which will be of benefit to more experienced case workers.
