BREXIT - DEBATE SURROUNDING CITIZENSHIP

Hi! It’s Deborah and Euzi! Brexit - debate surrounding citizenship continues. The House of Commons has published a briefing paper which brings some interesting arguments such as:

• continuing EU citizenship for UK citizens would not be a ‘logical consequence’
• EU citizenship is a ‘fundamental right’ and could be seen as a breach of human rights if it is not guaranteed
• UK citizens should be able to retain EU citizenship rights as ‘former EU citizens’

Observations on a case we went to Court on yesterday

Hi, its Deborah and Euzi,

We have been dealing with an incredibly difficult case, our client has been so distressed with the legal proceedings and their feeling of unfairness at the actions of their opponents made them very, very, very intransigent . We had a major hearing yesterday, and if it could not be resolved the ongoing action and fees would have amounted in costs alone to £20,000 not to mention the stress of further delays and being cross examined, they would not have fared well. The thought came to my mind of Jarndyce v Jarndyce in Dickins' Bleak House, but somehow and I can only think it was the power of positive thinking and after hours of negotiation 6 to be exact my client finally saw sense and signed an agreement, that will protect their position in the future. I have just realised that I feel 100% lighter, you can't help it some clients and their situation really get to you.
