The Government has made the EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) – the system through which EU nationals and non-EU family members can apply to continue living in the UK post-Brexit – a ‘constitutive scheme’. At midnight on December 31st 2020 or June 30th 2021 (depending on if we have a deal), hundreds of thousands of people…
