Product Description
Immigration Law is a straightforward, up-to-date and practical introduction to this changing area of law. After a short, practical introduction in Chapter 1 (which includes a list of useful websites), the book deals with British nationality and the right of abode in the United Kingdom in Chapter 2. This is followed by a detailed analysis of immigration controls in Chapter 3. The unique immigration status of EEA nationals and their family members is considered in Chapter 4, along with how a family member of a British citizen who has engaged Treaty rights might use EC rather than domestic law to enter the UK.
The next four chapters then address the key immigration categories of entry to the UK, including a new chapter on the points based system. Asylum seekers and refugees are considered in Chapter 9. Enforcement of immigration law and the appeals system are dealt with in the last two chapters. The appendices contain key resource documents such as the Immigration Rules, the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 and materials on the points based system.
This new edition includes coverage of many important developments including conditions of entry introduced by s16 of the UK Borders Act 2007; the new time periods for refusing entry to the UK; the new specified forms procedure; identity card requirements; new student visitor category; Tiers 1, 2 and 5 of the new points based system (Chapter 7); key entry clearance questions for a spouse or civil partner; withdrawal, cancellation and revocation of refugee status; the automatic deportation of foreign criminals under s 32 of the UK Borders Act 2007; and the new UKBA guidance on the deportation and removal of family members. New cases in this edition include OO v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008) (the legal status of immigration requirements after entry), TC (Kenya) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008) (marriage or civil partnership of convenience), KG & AK (Sri Lanka) v Secretary of State for Home Department (2008) and TR (reg 8(3) EEA Regs 2006) Sri Lanka (2008) (family members of EEA nationals); MK (Somalia) v Entry Clearance Officer (2007) and MW (Liberia) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2007) (maintenance); R (Baiai) v Secretary of State (2008) (permission to marry scheme); MB (Somalia) v Entry Clearance Officer (2008) (entry by widowed parent); R (Nasseri) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008) (safe third country); NF (Ghana) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008) EWCA Civ 906 (removal of child and parent); Chikwamba v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008), Beoku-Betts v Secretary of State for the Home Department (2008) and N v UK (2008) (human rights).
