Information has it that some pro-Brexit campaigners are
making lawful move against the European Commission and its leader Jean-Claude
Juncker.
It takes after his decree that authorities must not take
part in any pre-negotiation with the British government about Brexit until it
has activated Article 50.
The gathering, which calls itself Fair Deal for Expats, say
talks need to start now to lift the vulnerability over the lives of the million
or more Brits living in Europe.
Similarly, they have also said EU residents in the UK
likewise need to realize what's on the horizon - specifically whether they will
be permitted to stay in the nation.
One individual from Fair Deal for Expats, Wynne Edwards,
said it alleged that Mr Juncker's prohibition on early dialogs was wrong,
unlawful and out of line.
Mr Wynne, a retired solicitor living in France, made this
known to Sky News, saying: "Mr Juncker has issued what he calls a
presidential order that prohibits the UK from speaking to anyone in the EU,
even exchanging documents.
"What that means is that we just don't know what our
future holds for us.
"Firstly, we don't know if we're going to be able to
stay in the EU or not. If we all had to leave and (our) houses had to be sold,
their value would obviously drop because there would be a glut on the market.
"Young families with children who've gone to school and
been brought up as French or Spanish or German ... would they have to leave,
would they be disrupted?
"Even more importantly, 16 or 17-year-olds ... they are
still British subjects ... would they have to leave and be separated from their
parents?
"(And) people who are ill and getting treatment in
France that they would not have been able to receive in the UK and would have
died - what does the future hold for them?"
While speaking, Henry Warwick, a barrister on behalf of the
expats, said: "What needs to happen right now is sensible talks taking
place about what life holds for millions of people living across the EU who
will be affected."
Though Prime Minister Theresa May has said she will trigger
Article 50 by the end of March and has warned the EU against trying to expel
the 1.2 million Britons living in Europe.
