UK citizens could keep free movement and block Europeans from entering the country

Guy Verhofstaht and Juncker have already said they want to offer this to EU citizens.

Yes but if the court decides in favour of this then it is not up to them so they can't threaten to take it off the table and would put the British government in a stronger position, especially if they are prepared to play hard ball with eu citizens in this country

Only no. The CJEU is the highest court in the EU and only that will make the final call (and you can be sure it will reject this claim).

If this legal challenge is successful could the whole discussion about Brexit change?

And we will live to see an atheist majority Europa

The courts are not supposed to make political decision on legal one, I don't know enough about the law to judge this claim but if our law is based on politicised courts then it's even better we are leaving

The treaties are vague for a reason - you can't prescribe every single thing in the beginning.

It is not that the Court is politicised, but that it is the guardian of the treaties of the EU (and thereby the EU itself).

To suggest that this would be possible is absurd. Art 50 itself says that the treaties shall cease to apply to any MS leaving the EU. It's hardly complicated and there are many ways for the CJEU to defend this opinion.

There are two ridiculous thing about what you said though: 1) That you don't know how the CJEU works yet for some reason it's 'politicised' and 'bad'. 2) That you think you can keep certain perks of the EU without giving anything back. Eh...

The claim is a fail. As it points out EU citizenship depends on being a citizen of a member state, so when we cease to be a member state, citizens cant qualify.

The parties can decide in negotiations if they wish to change that situation.

The argument is about revocation of citizenship not how you become a citizen.

I just said it's a interesting case and that I don't know enough about the law regarding this to judge or did you fail to read that?

It also talks about "But the court case also asks for rulings on whether or not UK citizens would remain European Union citizens post-Brexit."
