Riassunto

Now in its eighth 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 maintains the strengths of the handbook as a reference tool and is fully updated to allow the reader access to all new developments.

Legislative changes since the previous edition are covered, which include the many statements of changes to the Immigration Rules since July 2010, including further amendments to the points based system and other significant new rule changes for spouses and students.

In addition, statutes have been updated to consider orders bringing new provisions on existing legislation into force, such as the Identity Documents Act 2010, which amends various immigration statutes. Secondary legislation, adding to the functions of the Asylum and Immigration Chamber of the Upper Tribunal, is also addressed.

Amendments to the 2006 European Economic Area regulations and the regulations relating to nationals of accession states are covered, along with the full materials of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

The Immigration Law Handbook has established itself as the standard in the field to become a well-known and trusted resource.

Recensione:

Review from previous edition All immigration judges and practitioners will welcome the seventh edition of this work that has become a trusted and indispensable source of the mass of legislation, rules, and international instruments that have a significant bearing on this expansive jurisdiction. It is comprehensive, portable and as up to date as any printed work can hope to be in the maelstrom of legislative activity that is asylum, immigration, free movement and human rights law. The sixth edition has been a constant companion, I have every expectation that the seventh will prove no less essential. (The Hon Mr Justice Blake, President of the Upper Tribunal Immigration and Asylum Chamber)
