Low and Others, Regina (on the Application of) v Secretary of State for the Home Department: Admn 21 Jan 2009

In each case the applicant, a company based in Ireland had employed in its restaurants, Chinese nationals who were unlawfully present here. The company sought judicial review of the arrest of its employees.
Held: ‘None of the claimants had any entitlement to rely on Article 49 and the posted workers cases because the third party nationals are not resident in Ireland. The UK, in any event, would be justified under EC law in taking proportionate measures to ensure that third party nationals are legally employed and lawfully resident in the member state of establishment. As the third country nationals are not lawfully resident in the Republic of Ireland, the defendant’s decisions not to regularise their status and to detain and remove them were proportionate and were not in breach of EC law.’
