Judgment of the Court (Grand Chamber) of 13 September 2016 (request for a preliminary ruling from the Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) — United Kingdom) — Secretary of State for the Home Department v CS
(Case C-304/14) (1)
((Reference for a preliminary ruling - Citizenship of the Union - Article 20 TFEU - Third-country national having a young dependent child who is a Union citizen - Right to reside in the Member State of which the child is a national - Criminal convictions of the child’s parent - Decision to expel the parent resulting in the indirect expulsion of the child concerned))
(2016/C 419/03)
Language of the case: English
Referring court
Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber)
Parties to the main proceedings
Appellant: Secretary of State for the Home Department
Respondent: CS
Operative part of the judgment
Article 20 TFEU must be interpreted as precluding legislation of a Member State which requires a third-country national who has been convicted of a criminal offence to be expelled from the territory of that Member State to a third country notwithstanding the fact that that national is the primary carer of a young child who is a national of that Member State, in which he has been residing since birth without having exercised his right of freedom of movement, when the expulsion of the person concerned would require the child to leave the territory of the European Union, thereby depriving him of the genuine enjoyment of the substance of his rights as a Union citizen. However, in exceptional circumstances a Member State may adopt an expulsion measure provided that it is founded on the personal conduct of that third-country national, which must constitute a genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat adversely affecting one of the fundamental interests of the society of that Member State, and that it is based on consideration of the various interests involved, matters which are for the national court to determine.
