Lamb Building: "Family law in immigration practice"

Title: Dates/locations: Thurs 29 March, Lamb Building, London, (repeated Tues 03 April at Lamb Building Brighton Annexe)
Speakers: Andreas Pretzell, Sandra Akinbolu, Keelin McCarthy

This seminar examines the growing links between family law and immigration practice. It explores the case law guidance on children’s welfare from the Family Division of the High Court, and examines the obligations that are arguably now on the Home Office when considering “best interests” in domestic law, and “rights” in European legislation. The seminar will go on to examine some of the most common practical issues that arise when immigration matters arise in parallel with unresolved family law proceedings, including the problems that arise in pursuing contact with expediency. It will also identify possible points of appeal in immigration cases affecting children, including situations where a child’s European citizenship may be decisive. 

All seminars take place from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm and attract 1.5 CPD points.
