This version cuts out the bit at the end which says Vote Leave promises were kept (*waves to EU citizens*) and Theresa May was a disaster. Hope someone screenshot it?
Here's part of what's left, re legal services...presumably "improve" isn't a comparison to the status quo...
Here's part of the deleted bit bigging up Vote Leave. It notably neglects to mention Vote Leave promises to EU citizens...
UK proposed treaties on readmission and child asylum seekers got nowhere. The claim that the Dublin system would be replaced by a system enabling simpler returns of people is unfounded in practice, although bilateral talks are planned.
Missed this one - recent judgment of the EU General Court on whether a UK official who obtained Belgian citizenship in order to keep job with EU institutions was still entitled to an "expatriation allowance" despite usual rule - curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
2/ The General Court rejected the staff member's arguments - but he's already appealed to the CJEU.
The main argument re Brexit is at paras 54-73 - ie taking out Belgian nationality (and therefore losing the allowance) was a 'force majeure' for the staff member. Court says no.
3/ This paragraph sets out a striking principle which would be relevant outside the scope of staff cases - especially to UK citizens in EU/EU citizens in UK.
His argument by analogy based on free movement law cases and dual citizenship also failed.
New ruling - appeal of UK citizen seeking to retain EU citizenship rejected on standing grounds: curia.europa.eu/juris/document…
However:
- this was a request for interim measures; the main case is still pending
- two other cases directly against EU are pending
2/ - all three cases likely to face standing issues
- but a fourth case sent from the French courts to the CJEU will *not* face standing issues, ie the Court in principle has to answer the national court's questions about whether UK citizens have lost EU citizenship
3/ I've updated my collection of links to Brexit litigation, including the latest developments on "loss of EU citizenship" cases, plus the internal market bill - eulawanalysis.blogspot.com/p/litigating-b…
Except for reg on aviation safety, proposed laws "will automatically stop when an agreement enters into force or stop after a fixed period if no agreement enters into force (6 months for the air services and road related measures and 1 year for the fisheries related measures)"
