Since the publication of the first edition in 1983 Macdonald’s Immigration Law & Practice has established itself as the standard textbook in the field and is recognised by the legal profession as the most authoritative text on immigration law.

Written with precision by leading immigration experts the work has been updated to offer all of the latest legislation, cases, political developments and commentary and guidance on every significant aspect of the law and practice of immigration.

The seventh edition has been fully revised to include the provisions of:-

• the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006,
• the new UK Borders Bill,
• the Civil Partnerships Act 2004
• and the Adoption and Children Act 2002.

The new edition also covers domestic implementation and effect of major pieces of European Community legislation including the 'Citizen's Directive' and Refugee Qualification Directive, as well as the latest immigration appeals Procedure Rules, Practice Direction and CPR.

The book also contains all the latest SIs and covers all recent case law including decisions from Strasbourg, the House of Lords and the Court of Appeal. A brand new chapter on the Special Immigration Appeals Commission is also incorporated.
