Judges at the European Union's (EU) top court were asked to rule on the rights of Brits who remain in the EU once their home nation quits the bloc.

A Dutch tribunal on Wednesday said it will refer questions about the EU citizenship status of Britons following Brexit to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in a case that could help settle the legal status of thousands whose future was plunged into doubt when the UK voted to leave.
