The Law and Practice of Expulsion and Exclusion from the United Kingdom: Deportation, Removal, Exclusion and Deprivation of Citizenship
General Fripp
Resort by the state to measures of exclusion and expulsion from the territory of the UK and/or from British citizenship have multiplied over the past decade, following the so-called ‘War on Terror’, increased globalisation, and the growing politicisation of national policies concerning immigration and citizenship.
This book, which focuses on the law and practice governing deportation, removal and exclusion from the UK, the denial of British citizenship, and deprivation of that citizenship, represents the first attempt by practitioners to provide a cohesive assessment of UK law and practice in these areas. The undertaking is a vital one because, whilst these areas of law and practice have long existed as the hard edge of immigration and nationality laws, in recent years the use of some powers in this area has greatly increased and such powers have arguably expanded beyond secondary existence as mere mechanisms of enforcement. The body of law, practice and policy created by this process is one which justifies treatment as a primary concern for public lawyers.
The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the law in these areas and its background. This involves a consideration of interlocking international and regional rights instruments, EU law and the domestic regime. It is a clear and comprehensive everyday guide for practitioners and offers an invaluable insight into likely developments in this dynamic area of public law.
‘...deserves to be on the bookshelves of all those who seek to practise within this carefully defined area of immigration and nationality law.’
From the Foreword by Lord Hope of Craighead KT

Reviews for The Law and Practice of Expulsion and Exclusion from the United Kingdom: Deportation, Removal, Exclusion and Deprivation of Citizenship

[This is] a detailed and exhaustive guide to the law as it currently stands in this fascinating and politically sensitive area. Editor Eric Fripp and deputy editors Rowena Moffatt and Ellis Wilford are experienced practitioners who regularly appear before the Immigration and Asylum chambers and the senior courts – as such they are able to give practical and not merely academic guidance. The comprehensive and practical nature of this text shines through from the outset. The book is to be commended for an analysis that seeks to look not only at the law as it stands but also, albeit in neutral fashion, at the political context in terms of the rationale and intentions of government… It is a forensic work of real authority and a triumph not only for the editors but for the team of expert contributors from Lamb Building.

It is not really possible for a lawyer to give a book higher praise than to say that it is genuinely useful and provides new insight, which is what I have found… Eric's excellent preface is full of very quotable text… I think the book is going to have a significant impact on jurisprudential thinking.
