What does the Brax arrest case cover?

Post by sarah82 » Tue Nov 29, 2011 8:54 pm

Hi All,

Somebody recommended I site the 'Brax arrest' regarding my plans of trying to get a 'code 1a' stamp at Calais.

Could someone please tell me more about this case as i've researched online but can't find anything about it.

What did it involve?

A summary would be greatly appreciated guys & girls!

It is either called MRAX or BRAX (after a Belgian organisation against beloved), depending on whether you use the abbreviation of their name in French or in Dutch.

Look at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/Lex ... 003:en:PDF

The first of the four paragraphs is the most relevant to you: it basically says that (as a non-EU national) you cannot be refused entry to any EU country, if you travel with your EU-spouse and have documentary proof (marriage certificate and passport) with you.

Brax arrest
Brax arrest? What exactly is the "arrest" part?

I am not so sure it is related to MRAX.

MRAX is an important case. See http://eumovement.wordpress.com/2010/08 ... to-travel/ for extracts of the case, as well of the UKBA operations manuals that refer to it.

arrest is a word used in legal circles and means verdict, but it is only used to refer to verdicts of higher courts. It shares its spelling with some specific police actions which creates confusion from time to time.

BRAX and MRAX are the same. Both refer to the same Belgian organisation. MRAX is the abbreviation of the name of this organisation in French (and also in English), BRAX is the abbreviation of the name translated in Dutch. And to be honest: BRAX is easier to pronounce...

See the Dutch version on http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/Lex ... 003:NL:PDF
