The Immigration Bill and sham marriages

In an article for The Law Society Gazette, Samar Shams discusses the new measures on sham marriages and civil partnerships arising from the new Immigration Bill.

In this instance they are perhaps even more interesting, as the new bill attempts to replace previous regulations found in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
