In Patmalniece the Court of Appeal has considered the compatibility of the UK right to reside requirement with Regulation 1408/71/EEC on co-ordination of social security for migrants. The Court earlier upheld the compatibility of the right to reside rule with the EU Treaty in Abdirahman. However, this case was different in that the claimant – unlike those in the previous cases - was within the personal scope of Regulation 1408/71.
