Home Office accepts ‘pre-settled status’ rule for EU citizens is unlawful
THE Home Office has dropped a legal battle over a Brexit rule requiring EU citizens to reapply for the right to stay in Britain after it was found unlawful by the High Court.
The unusual move by the department not to pursue an appeal against the ruling was welcomed by rights groups today.
The case concerns a rule in the government’s EU settlement scheme that allows European nationals to remain in Britain after Brexit.
