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 fifth edition of the "Immigration Law Handbook" brings together the key materials in one volume, which provides an essential reference tool for those working in the area. It is fully up to date to include the new Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006, which makes further changes to the legal structure governing immigration control, including new restrictions on entry clearance appeals, a new scheme of fixed penalties for employers of illegal workers, and provision for the removal of British nationality in certain circumstances. It also includes the new Immigration (European Economic Area Regulations 2006). The text takes in all amendments to the Immigration Rules to October 2006, and contains all key legislation, Procedure Rules and Statutory Instruments. 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, and the new Asylum Procedures Directive. "The Immigration Law Handbook 5/e" is an invaluable source for immigration practitioners.
