Class action law-suit over the EU1 debacle?

exploited · Post by **exploited** » Thu Sep 13, 2007 12:07 am

Hi all

There are hundreds of us in the same situation. The amount of people (in many cases, highly qualified) who have been sitting around for months upon months waiting for a decision to come through, only to be given a standard letter that the pathetic lazy b**&*rs didn't even bother to type individually. I think of the huge amounts of wages lost, careers put on hold, time wasted and distress caused. Surely they can't be allowed to get away with this!

Are there any legal experts on this forum who can advise if it worth us all getting together and suing them

there are some of us who have already contacted solicitors...

Yes, I know that many have contacted solicitors to appeal their cases but what I'm talking about is going much further than just an individual appeal but rather collectively sueing them for a lot of money. I feel that this may be the only way such unjust institutions will learn how to treat people as human beings!

I dont want to discourage you, but Ireland is not the U.S...it's difficult to sue the government on immigration issues especially if you are not irish

Well, if a very large number of people got together (after all, 750 deportation letters have sent out) it couldn't be ignored by a court. You might be right but I'd like to see if there are any lawyers here who can shed some light on this.

There's someone on this forum from Cork who says he's an immigration lawyer. Maybe he might have some idea.

Here's an interesting situation where the E.U commission is taking Sweden to task for a interpretation of E.U directive into national law which is at odds with other member states. The case is from 2005, so it's taken 2 years for this action to be taken.

''Brussels has asked Sweden to explain how it implemented the directive into national law; whether Sweden recognises decisions made by other member states concerning the directive and how they justify their own decision.''

Good Post

also i just came across this page.
this man created all the fiasco. and see its not only immigration which suffered. there are loads of departments which are completely out of order

LAWYERS and human rights campaigners have rounded on former justice minister Michael McDowell for introducing "draconian and obscene" changes to Ireland's criminal laws.

The former PD leader, a senior counsel who has returned to private practice after losing his seat during the election, was also branded as "mad" and "arrogant" by some delegates at a criminal justice conference for introducing the Criminal Justice Act 2007 "without any effective public debate"
