The British Nationality title forms part of volume 4 of Halsbury's Laws of England, the only comprehensive narrative statement of the law of England and Wales. Available in print and online via Lexis+, Halsbury's Laws provides up-to-date, authoritative coverage of every area of law, making it an indispensable resource for legal practitioners.
This title provides an authoritative statement of the law governing British nationality, tracing its historical development and explaining the current legislative framework for the acquisition and loss of British citizenship, British Overseas Territories citizenship, British Overseas citizenship, British National (Overseas) status, British subject status, and British protected person status.
The 2026 reissue has been fully updated to include legislative developments (including the Nationality and Borders Act 2022, the British Nationality (Regularisation of Past Practice) Act 2023, and the British Nationality (Irish Citizens) Act 2024) and key caselaw since the previous print edition, and also contains an expanded section examining the circumstances in which persons may be deprived of their citizenship status, reflecting the recent high profile case law in this area. Supported by extensive cross-references to related areas of law, it is an essential resource for practitioners, judges, academics, and other professionals advising on British nationality law.
