Regina (on the application of Loutchansky and Others) v The First Secretary of State: 2005

The court considered the right of a worker claiming a community right to work here: ‘the underlying principle is that, in order to render a community right effective, it may be necessary to recognise a derivative right in a non-national who has no independent community rights.’ The Austrian employer would not be able to exercise its Art 49 rights without having the advantage of Dr Loutchansky’s entry into, and service within, the UK. Any prohibition on Dr Loutchansky’s entry and service had therefore to be justified, and such justification assessed in accordance with community law procedures.
