Aw :(
Are they willing to fundraise and ask the British in Europe (citizen charity that fights for Brits abroad) for help?
I'm sure people will chip in! EU nationals the UK that were starving cos the DWP screwed them on benefits got help too.
I know a few people in the activist circles if they are willing to go that way.
JWestland-
@SwissChap, yes that was my first thought, but I haven't spoken to him personally yet to get full details. I guess they (the EOC) have made the demand early on to everyone they can find in that situation, and it's then up to the recipients to decide whether to fight it or not.
@JWestland - Will pm you for more info...

I have just received an email today from my English-qualified, French residing accountant, that he has just been ordered by the 'Ordre des Experts Comptables' (OEC - the professional organization of Chartered Accountants in France), to stop practising accountancy in France. He's a small husband and wife business and can't afford to fight the case legally, so he's shutting down.
When he registered to do accountancy in France (in 2009), the EU had just passed a law saying that foreign qualifications within the EU must be accepted by all the countries that were part of the union. Now that the UK are leaving, the OEC have declared that he cannot continue to practise accountancy in France, and have threatened to prosecute him if he doesn't stop immediately.
So I've lost my accountant, and my accountant and his wife have lost their livelihood. Thanks again Dave, Nigel, Boris, etc.
