1/ The CJEU is back from holiday - starting with a big victory for @ClientEarth re access to environmental information: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
General point: impact assessments drawn up before legislative proposals are subject to liberal access to documents rules #FOIA
2/ CJEU, EU external relations law
New judgment: implementing the EU's partnership treaty with Kazakhstan shouldn't have been subject to unanimous voting, since the foreign policy elements were incidental: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
3/ CJEU, car insurance
New judgment: obligation to insure a vehicle applies even if it is parked on private land with no intention to drive it: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
4/ Finally, asylum law
Hearing in first CJEU case re family reunion under the Dublin rules: is there a right to a remedy in a Member State which *should be accepting responsibility* (not just in a MS which *shouldn't be transferring* the asylum seeker)? curia.europa.eu/juris/document…

1/ Some additional points to add to David's fact check of the latest no deal Brexit claims
2/ The "no deal is more legally certain" claim is false. I debunked this nonsense in a previous thread
3/ As for rolling over existing FTAs: even if they are all in place on time with identical terms, the UK trading position will be worse because the rules of origin will change, ie goods partly produced in the UK may no longer count as EU goods

1 It's not a documentary. But to see how closely #Idanielblake matches reality, let's have a look at some details from the UN report on poverty in the UK: ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/…
2 Impact of the delay in receiving universal credit - based on a study on its roll out in the North East.

1/ Let's take a look at Mr Nelson's support for the rights of @The3Million, shall we? Because the record is...chequered.
2/ He was on a @britishfuture inquiry (with me and others) that recommended unilateral guarantees for @The3Million in December 2016. Details here: eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/2016/12/bargai…
3/ The Leave MPs on the inquiry, Stuart and Braverman, then voted *against* such guarantees a few months later. IIRC Nelson tweeted his agreement. The purity of the Article 50 bill could not be sullied etc. My take on Stuart: google.com/url?sa=i&sourc…

“Can UK be forced to leave EU against its will?”

“Of course not!” says CJEU.

Some thoughts from this EU lawyer on today’s judgment. curia.europa.eu/juris/document… Thread 1/20
The case was decided by a full court - all 28 judges of CJEU (there’s one from each country). That’s rare, it happens once every few years. 2/
The judgment is unanimous, because CJEU judgments are *always* unanimous. Every single one. 3/

BIG NEWS - European Court of Justice says the UK can unilaterally revoke Article 50 therefore cancelling the Brexit process without approval from EU 27 states
The only provisos are (a) state must cancel Article 50 process before the notification period (2 years - i.e. 29 March 2019 for UK) ends and (b) the revocation must follow a 'democratic process' in line with state's constitutional requirements
This is the final word - there are no appeals. Article 50 can be revoked and UK could cancel Brexit at any time up to 29 March 2019. Well done @JolyonMaugham and the @GoodLawProject for bringing the case and giving our MPs clarity. A 2nd Referendum is now a distinct possibility

Irish High Court was asked by Polish Gov to extradite Mr Celmer under EU law for trial on drug charges. Irish judge ruled Poland’s Gov has seriously undermined rule of law by taking political control over judges (agreeing with Euro Commission) 2/
So Irish Court asked Court of Justice of EU to rule on # approach Irish Court should take. AG opinion is advice to CJEU on how CJEU should rule. Mostly CJEU takes that advice, but not always. 3/

Checking out Facebook's new terms & conditions (a small thread). Facebook seems to invoke necessity for performing a contract (art 6(1)(b) GDPR) as a legal basis for targeting ads to its users.
Facebooks new ‘Data Policy’ (19 April 2018) says:

1/ Thread: The CJEU judgment in the holiday pay case of King v Sash Windows is out and is a 'must-read' for all #ukemplaw practitioners. curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
2/ As you'll know, Mr King worked for Sash Windows for 13 years and was never paid for taking annual leave. This meant some years he was reluctant to take it. #ukemplaw
3/ On retirement he brought a claim for (1) pay for holiday accrued but untaken in his final leave year; (2) pay for holiday taken throughout the 13 years; and (3) payment in lieu for accrued but untaken holiday throughout the 13 years.
