Real Estate Litigation - Western (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
St John's Chambers is the premier set for contentious property matters on the Western Circuit and remains a go-to for solicitors in the South West and further afield. The set boasts a deep roster of barristers with specialist real estate litigation expertise who appear at all levels of the court system, including the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. The barristers are regularly instructed in everything from boundary disputes to dilapidations claims, and disagreements over lease renewals and other landlord and tenant issues, to disputes over contracts for the sale of land. A particular work highlight for this year was Weaver v Smith, a dispute concerning the correct understanding of an express right of way within a Deed.
