Immigration Law Handbook by Margaret Phelan

Immigration and asylum law are areas that have experienced immense change in recent years. Many significant and controversial developments have been made through the introduction of new legislation, presenting the need for an up-to-date and fully comprehensive guide. This sixth edition of the Immigration Law Handbook addresses these changes and brings together all the key materials in one volume, providing an essential reference tool for those working in the area. It includes recent substantial changes to the Immigration Rules, and the new UK Borders Act 2007 as well as previous legislation such as the Human Rights Act 1998. In addition to domestic legislation, the Handbook also contains sections on relevant European and international materials, including the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The Immigration Law Handbook has established itself as the standard in the field and has become an invaluable resource for immigration practitioners.
