WEB 1059 ILPA Annual Seminar on the Free Movement of EEA Nationals (Webinar)
Wednesday 18 November 2020 @ 10:00 am - 4:30 pm
ILPA returns with its Annual Seminar on the Free Movement of EEA Nationals for the 10th year running. This will be the last year that we will hold this conference as a state still participating in the free movement system.
However, this is not the end of free movement rights for EU, British citizens and their third country national family members in the UK. Under the Withdrawal Agreement extensive protection of rights has been agreed. Already, in some of the UK secondary legislation which has been circulated in draft there are questions about the correct application of the Withdrawal Agreement commitments.
Undoubtedly there will be challenges before the national courts, and so, the case-law of the Court of Justice will continue to be important. In this conference we will be addressing all of these issues with experts, both national and EU, to understand the in-coming regime for EU nationals in the UK and how it is intended to work.
A must for all practitioners working with EEA nationals and their family members during this period of uncertainty as we near the end of the transition period.
