1. The rise and decline of fundamental rights protection in European Union citizenship case law

Author

Yong, Adrienne and Murphy, Cian Christopher

Abstract

This thesis examines the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU throughout the development of the concept of EU citizenship. It does so in relation to the discourse on EU fundamental rights, and argues that there has been a correlation between the two concepts since the beginning, driving much of the development in citizenship until this day. Five judicial instruments have been used by the Court in the decision-making process that emerged out of the development: these are the principles of non-discrimination, proportionality, the genuine link test, the purely internal situations rule and the deprivation of genuine enjoyment test. This thesis examines each instrument as they pertain to the case law by looking at three different "ages" of citizenship, which are demarcated by significant changes in the Court's constitutional landscape. The claim at the outset is that there is an inherent relationship between EU fundamental rights and EU citizenship as they both seek to achieve the same objective - the protection of the individual. The thesis argues that although this claim was borne out early in the history of EU citizenship, the current case law indicates that the original claim should be now treated with caution. The Court enters increasingly sensitive territory as regards protection of citizenship rights vis-à-vis fundamental rights. For this reason, there has been notable decline in the protection of fundamental rights in the citizenship case law. It is argued that this is attributable to the Euroscepticism that has worsened since the Eurozone crisis. The legal culture of the Court is such that it is influenced by politics of the time, and its decisions on citizenship and fundamental rights are no exception. The effect is that the Court now interprets the EU fundamental rights and Union citizenship relationship in a less liberal way than was initially expected and this shift is likely to persist until the EU is no longer in crisis.

Abstract

Our commentary aims to show that the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified existing barriers to healthcare in England for ethnic minority and migrant women. We expose how the pandemic has affected the allocation of healthcare resources leading to the prioritisation of COVID-19 patients and suspending the equal access to healthcare services approach. We argue that we must look beyond this disruption in provision by examining existing barriers to access that have been amplified by the pandemic in order to understand the poorer health outcomes for women in ethnic minority and migrant communities. The reflection focuses on racialised medical perceptions, gendered cultural norms including information barriers and stigma, and specific legal barriers.

Abstract

This report records the roundtable on “Brexit’s Effect on Citizens, Human Rights and Immigration” organised by Dr Adrienne Yong on 11 June 2019 at City, University of London funded by the Higher Education Innovation Fund (HEIF) 2018/19.\ud \ud Speakers included:\ud \ud • Hannah Wilkins (House of Commons Library)\ud • Blanca Grey (Home Office)1\ud • Paul Erdunast (Immigration Law Practitioner’s Association - ILPA)\ud • Christopher Desira (Seraphus Solicitors)\ud • Nicole Masri (Rights of Women)\ud • Ollie Persey (Public Law Project)\ud • Katarzyna Zagrodniczek (East European Resource Centre)\ud • Mihai Calin Bica (Roma Support Group)\ud • Dr Adrienne Yong (City, University of London)\ud • Dr Michaela Benson (Goldsmiths, University of London)\ud • Madeleine Sumption (Migration Observatory)\ud • Sheona York (Kent Law Clinic)\ud \ud A host of unique legal questions were raised in the aftermath of the UK’s referendum result where the electorate voted in favour of leaving the EU on the 23 June 2016. Opinion has been split as to whether the UK and EU have indeed struck a fair deal for citizens, with arguments that citizens have been used as bargaining chips throughout the process to achieve a deal. As negotiations progressed towards the original mandated date of withdrawal, 29 March 2019, various schemes emerged to handle post-Brexit immigration of EU citizens in the UK and reciprocal arrangements for British citizens in the EU. This is now reflected in the EU Settlement Scheme, the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination Bill, and the reciprocity agreed with EU Member States as to British citizens in the EU. These issues and more were discussed at the roundtable.
