This book is devoted exclusively to the substantive law and practice surrounding the legal representation of those seeking to remain in the UK because of their need for international protection.
It deals comprehensively with the procedures and framework of claiming asylum, the substantive law of refugee status, subsidiary protection and the protection dimension of human rights law, appeals in the First Tier and Upper Tribunal, including guidance on drafting grounds of appeal.
It draws together decisions of the higher courts and the Tribunal, and places them in the broader context of decision making in the English speaking jurisdictions abroad: Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the USA.
This new 2nd edition has been fully updated to take account of the significant developments in procedural and substantive law such as the Common European Asylum System, and contains new sections on the treatment of asylum seekers.
