The court was asked: ‘(1) Whether as a matter of law the child of a person who is in a relationship with an EU citizen (which is not a marriage or a civil partnership) is a direct descendant of the citizen within the meaning of the Regulations that give effect to the Citizens Directive – a question of law.
(2) Whether, if the Appellant is not a direct descendant but an extended family member, she was before arriving in the UK a dependant of the EU citizen within the meaning of the Regulations – a question of fact.’
