Key legal question
Whether the respondent's conduct justified refusal of a residence permit under the EU free-movement public-order exception.
Extracted holding
Yes. His drug-trafficking conviction, subsequent serious traffic offence, and false declarations showed a current and sufficiently serious threat to public order.
Extracted reasoning
The court applied Art. 5(1) Annex I ALCP restrictively but found a real and present threat, especially given the serious narcotics offence and rapid reoffending after return.
