The British Supreme Court ruled that the three million people who emigrated to the United Kingdom after the separation of the European Union (Brexit) should be able to remain in the country even if they have not made a new residence application.
According to the British newspaper ‘The Guardian’, which cites the court’s decision, emigrants who went to the United Kingdom after ‘Brexit’ cannot be prevented from remaining in the country even if they have not applied for a new residence permit, since the Elimination of the right of residence can only be done in very special circumstances.
According to the judge of the British Supreme Court, what is stipulated in the agreement that regulates the departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union has a “wrong law”, since it “intends to revoke the right of permanent residence”, which can only be lost in circumstances very special.
“The loss of rights because someone did not request to benefit from an improvement in ‘status’ is not found in any of these circumstances,” the judge responsible for the decision wrote, quoted in The Guardian.
Under the rules still in force at the UK Home Office, since the official exit from the European Union, emigrants from European countries who settled in the country less than five years ago have been given a status called ‘default status’. ‘. ‘ ‘, and if since then they have not submitted a new residence application, updating their situation to ‘established’, they automatically lose the right to reside, work, rent a house or have access to public services, particularly health, he stresses the british newspaper.
The British Government has already reacted by saying that it does not agree with the interpretation of the law and that it will appeal the decision.
