Book excerpt: In an age of ever-increasing globalisation and travel, migration and relocation, immigration law affects a growing number of people. The Immigration Act 1987, which has been in force for over 22 years, will be repealed and replaced by the Immigration Act 2009 by Order in Council in 2010. Immigration and Refugee Law will assist legal practitioners and immigration consultants in understanding and implementing the changes that the new Act will bring about and the scope of immigration and refugee law in New Zealand today. The only textbook in New Zealand that discusses both the 2009 and 1987 Acts. Examines the similarities and differences of the two pieces of legislation and the ongoing influence the 1987 Act will have on the 2009 Act. Considers the challenges which will be faced by the bodies implementing the new legislation and attempts to provide some assistance in this process.
