The Tribunal dismissed an EUSS appeal, finding the appellant did not prove his more-than-12-month absence from the UK was caused by COVID-19 or another important reason.
The appellant's mother was not 'settled' in the UK at the time of his birth because her right to remain was contingent on her status as a 'qualified person' under EU and domestic law, which constituted a restriction under the immigration laws. The relevant regulations were immigration laws for purposes similar to the Immigration Act 1971, and only indefinite leave to remain or permanent residence would suffice for settled status. Thus, the appellant did not acquire British citizenship at birth under section 1(1)(b) of the British Nationality Act 1981.
