Many significant and controversial developments have been made through the introduction of new legislation, presenting the need for a book that guides across all of these areas. The recent governmental requirement for re-accreditation furthers this need. The seventh edition of the Immigration Law Handbook brings together the relevant materials in one volume, and provides an essential reference tool for those working in the area. Key provisions of the Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009 are reproduced and the amended text of statutory provisions reflects recent reform of the Tribunal system.
