Central Chambers has from its inception developed a dedicated team practising asylum, immigration and nationality law. Over the years this expertise has been augmented and strengthened so that now its members have represented at all levels where immigration law is practised, the AIC, the Administrative Court, including the Administrative Court sitting in Manchester, the Court of Appeal, and The Supreme Court.
