Mirga v Secretary of State for Work and Pensions; Samin v Westminster City Council [2016] UKSC 1, [2016] All ER (D) 202 (Jan)
The Supreme Court dismissed two appeals regarding the eligibility for benefits of EU citizens living in the UK. It held that the applicable Regulations did not infringe the rights of the appellants under the Treaty for the Functioning of the European Union, and that it was not possible to invoke proportionality to entitle a person to have the right of residence and social assistance in another member state, save perhaps in extreme circumstances that did not apply to the appellants.
