Welcome to the weekly Free Movement newsletter!<\/p>\n

The fallout from the white paper continues, unsurprising given the almost total lack of clarity in it. The Independent Monitoring Authority has had to\u00a0put out a statement<\/a>\u00a0reassuring those with leave under the EUSS.\u00a0By the looks of immigration message boards, MPs\u2019 mailboxes are full of correspondence from those who are\u00a0potentially affected, and\u00a0a petition<\/a>\u00a0asking specifically that the skilled worker route to settlement is not doubled has over 100,000 signatures (there is no indication that only the skilled worker route would be affected).\u00a0<\/p>\n

MPs are (fruitlessly) seeking clarity through written questions e.g. here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. This is not nearly all of them and only the ones raised in the Commons. The\u00a0refusal to provide clarity<\/a>\u00a0in relation to those with leave in Appendix Hong Kong (BNO) seems particularly bizarre given the status of the route as one of the \u201cbespoke\u201d\u00a0safe and legal routes<\/a>\u00a0offered to people instead of making them claim asylum<\/p>\n

We now have a\u00a0third judicial review<\/a>\u00a0challenging the good character guidance changes, this one from\u00a0Phoenix Law in Northern Ireland,. A\u00a0written question<\/a>\u00a0has gone in on how many people have been refused because of illegal entry since the changes. I very much\u00a0doubt that will be answered properly, but I would guess that the answer is none because a) the Home Secretary will be trying to avoid a claimant who actually has a refusal and b) people will be deterred from applying while the situation is so unclear.<\/p>\n

The changes continue to have no deterrent effect on people arriving across the Channel and the horrendous death toll continues to rise as\u00a0two more people died<\/a>\u00a0last week.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\n<\/picture><\/figure>\n

On the blog, John Vassiliou and one of his employment colleagues have written a very\u00a0useful briefing for employers<\/a>\u00a0who have employees who are on (or about to be on) section 3C leave. There is still an incredibly low level of understanding by employers on this topic and hopefully this will help both them and the affected employees.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was also\u00a0stats day<\/a>\u00a0last week and there were a few\u00a0case write ups, a\u00a0deprivation case<\/a>\u00a0in the Supreme Court, as well as\u00a0a\u00a0visitor visa challenge<\/a>\u00a0in the Court of Appeal and this\u00a0one in the Upper Tribunal<\/a>\u00a0which as you can probably tell annoyed me quite a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For everything else on Free Movement and elsewhere, read on (I particularly recommend the first two stories in the \u201cwhat we\u2019re reading\u201d section).<\/p>\n
