Opis

A concise, accessible Guide to the far reaching changes introduced by the Asylum & Immigration Act 2004. The Act, the third major piece of legislation in this area in five years, controversially excluded immigration decisions from the scrutiny of the higher courts in the original bill. Although the 'ouster' clause has been modified, the Act radically re-shapes the structure of immigration appeals as well as introducing important changes in practice and procedure. It is written by an experienced team of barristers from Doughty Street, a leading chambers at the forefront of human rights litigation. This Guide is a vital reference resource for practitioners and organisations working in this fast changing area of the Law.

Recenzje

The guide follows the structure of the Act. A clear and concise introduction summarises the core provisions. The subsequent chapters contextualise the new law, allowing the reader to contrast the changes with previous legislation...This [the creation of the single-tier Asylum and Immigration Tribunal Act] is dealt with in a concise manner and complemented with a helpful diagram illuminating the complexity of the new regime...Blackstone's Guide is still a valuable tool to help immigration practitioners steady themselves against the governments tidal changes.
