Okafor v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2011]EWCA Civ 499; [2011] WLR (D) 146
“Where a EU citizen resident in the United Kingdom had died before acquiring a right to permanent residence her family members did not have rights to permanent residence simply by having resided for five years under a lawful residence permit. If a person no longer had a right to reside in the United Kingdom, the fact that the Secretary of State had not cancelled the document which initially granted that right could not establish a right of lawful residence under national law.”
