Zambrano

Those who've been following our Surinder Singh coverage ( http://britcits.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/surinder%20singh ) may also be interested in another landmark case - Zambrano.

... the European Court of Justice seems to have held that the parents of a child who is a national of a Member State must be granted the right to work and the right of residence in that Member State in order to protect the right of the child to live in Europe.

This is an astonishing proposition, if my reading of the case is correct, and represents a massive extension of the principle in the Chen case.
