ABSTRACT
The UK refused to allow a member of the Church of Scientology to enter the country. This contravened the freedom of movement of workers under Art 39 of the Treaty of Rome, but the UK relied on the right to derogate on the grounds of public policy as contained in Directive 64/221. It was held that the Treaty conferred individual rights which could be relied on, but, in the circumstance of this case, the UK could derogate from those rights.
