  • The Court will protect right of citizenship and also enjoyment of those rights

Minor who is a national of a European Union member state has the right to reside in the European Union with his or her third-country national parents

- They did not want to leave the U.K. and thus moved to Belfast to have their child
- This meant the child automatically gained Irish citizenship (and of course EU citizenship)
- The child had rights as an EU citizen
HELD - the ECJ made clear that where a minor child is an EU national they may have a third country national stay with them in the Member State.

54
Q

What happened in the case of ‘Rendon Marin v Administracion del Estado’?

A
  • A Columbian national was living in Spain caring for his two children
  • The two children were both EU nationals
  • The father had a criminal record and under Spanish law this was an automatic refusal of residence
  • He contested this
  • He did have a derived right of residence in Spain based on children
  • Right of residence can be limited on the grounds of public policy/security
    HELD - Automatic refusal based solely on the basis of an existing criminal record could not satisfy restrictions on right of residence.
55
Q

Consider the case of ‘Rendon Marin v Adminstracion de Estado’ and its facts.
If the Columbian national had committed a crime like murder would the outcome of the case have been different?

A

Most likely YES

  • he was not revoked residence rights as having a criminal record was not a good enough reason to satisfy proportionality principle
  • If the crime was murder, that would likely satisfy proportionality principle under Public security and he would have been revoked access to Spain
56
Q

What complications arose in the case of ‘Chavez-Vilchez’?

A
  • one parent here was an EU national, the other was not
  • the two had become separated
  • Right to stay is derivative (based on not preventing child citizen enjoying rights)
  • An inquiry can be made whether this would force child to leave EU with them or whether the EU national pare can take over care.
