Whether the decision of the Secretary of State had been correct, where the appellant, a Dutch citizen, had been denied employment and support allowance, on the grounds that she did not have a right to reside in the UK.

EU law only required labour market-related benefits to be made available to EU citizens from other member states.
Helen Mountfield QC was involved in this case.
