6 King's Bench Walk is a leading set in the field of Immigration
law. From the very beginning of modern Immigration law we have been
involved in the leading cases as well as providing a comprehensive
service at all levels. The head of chambers, Sibghat Kadri QC, brought
one of the first significant cases under the Immigration Act 1971.
This eventually reached the House of Lords as Ex p Azam [1974] AC
18 (HL).
We continue to represent clients at every level from Adjudicators
and the Immigration Appeal Tribunal, though the High Court and the
Court of Appeal, to the House of Lords, the European Court of Justice
and the European Court of Human Rights.
Members of chambers are able to draw on the considerable resources
and collective knowledge gathered in chambers over the past three
decades when representing clients in this rapidly changing area
of law. We are at the forefront of responding to new challenges
and developments in immigration law in order to protect our clients'
interests and advance their human rights.
As a chambers we seek to apply our ethos of a concern to promote
social welfare, human rights and equality to the field of Immigration
and Asylum law. We have a team of QCs and junior tenants who are
available to represent clients at all levels. We are able to provide
individual or teams of barristers as required.
In addition to advocacy we provide high quality written advice.
In a field where developments in domestic, European Union and human
rights case law and legislation are so rapid, our ability to advise
individuals, community organisations and institutions on new and
complex law is a vital part of our work.
The Immigration and Nationality Law Reports were founded within
chambers and continue to be co-edited by Manjit Gill QC from chambers.
In addition members of chambers are involved in the specialist immigration
law associations such as Immigration Law Practitioners' Association
(ILPA) and the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI);
community organisations including the Sikh Human Rights Group, the
Muslim Council of Great Britain and the Campaign Against Criminalising
Communities (CACC); and various international non-governmental organisations
(INGOs).
Members of chambers who work in the Immigration team also practise
in related areas of law such as Discrimination, Housing, Criminal
Defence, Mental Health Asylum Support, Social Security and so on.
Consequently we are able to apply our expertise across the range
of problems our clients face.
As a result of our good fortune in having practitioners from many
cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and practitioners with wide-ranging
interests, we have members who speak a number of major African,
Asian, Caribbean and European languages. We are sensitive and alive
to the nature of cultural differences to be found among people and
aim to apply this awareness to our professional relationships with
clients.
