The only text to provide a comprehensive and detailed analysis of the law relating to immigration detention, this book also provides exploration of issues that are yet to be thoroughly examined in domestic jurisprudence, such as the effect of recent case law of the European Court of Human Rights and Court of Justice of the European Union. I have no doubt that this book will be an essential addition to the library of anyone who practises in the field of the law of immigration. The authors have done a great service to all such practitioners. I commend the book most warmly.
