Gafri Qudari Balogun v Secretary of State for the Home Department

A third country national must meet the conditions of article 7.2 of Directive 2004/38/EC immediately before the divorce is finalised to retain a right of residence under article 13.2. Imprisonment before the divorce interrupts worker status and thus severs the continuity required for retained rights. The appellant lost protection under article 7.2 when imprisoned and had no rights for article 13.2 to preserve at the time of divorce.

  • Right of residence
  • Directive 2004/38/ec
  • Retained rights after divorce
  • Effect of imprisonment on residence rights
  • Derivative rights of third country nationals
