Welcome to the December 2017 edition of the Free Movement immigration update podcast. This month I cover some changes to the Immigration Rules, the latest Brexit developments and a trio of decisions on deportation. I then mention two cases at the Court of Justice of the European Union – one judgment and one referral – before finishing on some of the other case law we covered on the blog in December, which includes an interesting Supreme Court decision on deprivation of citizenship.

The material is all drawn from the December 2017 blog posts on Free Movement.
