Author Description

Now in its seventh edition, the Immigration Law Handbook continues to bring together all the key materials relevant to Immigration and Asylum Law in one volume, providing an essential reference tool for those working in the area.This new edition addresses key changes that have arisen from the implementation of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 as well as substantial changes to the Immigration Rules by way of the latest phase of the "Points-Based System". It also covers the UN Convention on Rights of the Child, which has been ratified in the UK since the last edition, as well as new secondary legislation implementing both the 2009 Act and previous legislation, including new appeals procedures. This coverage of recent new legislation sits usefully alongside existing important legislation to maintain the strengths of the handbook as a reference tool whilst bringing the reader up-to-date with all new developments.The Immigration Law Handbook has established itself as the standard in the field and has become an invaluable resource for immigration practitioners including Asylum and Immigration Tribunal judges and barristers, and solicitors and caseworkers working in immigration, asylum, and human rights law.
