The Best Practice Guide to Asylum and Human Rights Appeals newly updated and re-published for 2015

Summary

The Best Practice Guide by Mark Henderson and Alison Pickup of Doughty Street Chambers updated for the Immigration Act 2014 era

By EIN
Date of Publication:
06 February 2015

The introduction of the Immigration Act 2014 has radically changed the system of appeals to the First-tier Tribunal so we are pleased to let you know that the ever-popular Best Practice Guide to Asylum and Human Rights Appeals has been updated and re-published.

As with the last update in 2012, the Best Practice Guide (or BPG, as it's commonly known) remains freely available to all.

You can access the new 2015 BPG at www.ein.org.uk/bpg/contents. Please share this link with all.

Authored by Mark Henderson and Alison Pickup of Doughty Street Chambers, the guide aims to provide the practical advice and information required to conduct each stage of the appeal according to best practice.

The new 2015 update reflects the law as up to 30th November 2014.

EIN would like to express special thanks to Mark Henderson and Alison Pickup for the guide, and to the Nuffield Foundation for its continued funding of the BPG – Nuffield Foundation funding has enabled the BPG to be updated and electronically re-published in 2009, 2012 and now 2015.

Originally authored by Mark Henderson in 2003 (and the original version is still available to download here), the Best Practice Guide to Asylum and Human Rights Appeals is on its third electronic update.

As before, it features many links to case law on EIN, making it easy for EIN Members to access the cited case law. We've also improved the internal links so that when the BPG refers to its own chapters or paragraphs, you can click the link to quickly access the required reference. Every paragraph in the BPG is now bookmarked by name, so you can now link to and reference any paragraph (for example, http://www.ein.org.uk/bpg/chapter/6#6.1). Further improvements to links and citations are also underway.

We're sure that all visitors to the EIN website will find the updated BPG a valuable resource.
