Butterworths handbook on immigration law

Butterworths Handbook on Immigration Law brings together in one source book a wide range of immigration and asylum legislation. Over 1,000 pages of amended and annotated materials have been compiled in the single most comprehensive volume of UK and international legislation on immigration, asylum, refugees and associated human rights.In compiling the Handbook, the eminent editors of Butterworths immigration Law Service have taken particular account of the huge growth in EU legislation, and the fact that decisions on asylum claims are increasingly made by reference to international human rights materials.The Handbook includes the up-to-date, amended texts of the Immigration Act 1971, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999, together with the Immigration Rules, the Immigration and Asylum Appeals (Procedure) Rules 2000 and a range of other statutory instruments including selected social welfare materials. Separate sections collect together essential EU legislation, conventions and agreements, and Council of Europe and UN materials on human rights and international law. Materials in the Handbook are based on those in Butterworths Immigration Law Service.
