Judgment_paragraph 73 · Nalini Chenchooliah v Minister for Justice and Equality (C-94/18)

73According to the very wording of Article 15 of Directive 2004/38, and on pain of depriving that provision of a large part of its substance and practical effect, the scope of Article 15 must extend to an expulsion decision made, as in the main proceedings, on grounds wholly unrelated to any danger to public policy, public safety or public health but which are connected to the fact that a family member of a Union citizen who, in the past, enjoyed a temporary right of residence under Directive 2004/38 deriving from the exercise by the Union citizen of his right to freedom of movement, now no longer has such a right of residence following the departure of that citizen from the host Member State and his return to the Member State of which he is a national.
