“'Invaluable…to the armoury of all…a compulsory addition to the library of every immigration judge and practitioner.'” –  Mr Justice McCloskey, the then President of the Upper Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber, Foreword of 1st edition:

“'Aconvenient practical tool for the construction of coherent argument and onward research.'” –  Legal and Research Unit Journal 2015

“'When the President of the Upper Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum Chamber writes a foreword, and the foreword concludes with the words “This is…. a compulsory addition to the library of every immigration judge and practitioner” one gets the picture: something special has been added to the library. The calm and clear approach of Messrs Symes and Jorro is deeply reassuring.'” –  Stephen Knafler QC On the Free Movement Blog 2016
