What the Team is Known For
St Philips Chambers is highlighted for its growing offering in social housing management. Its barristers are experienced in handling cases at all levels of court, including those disputes involving the ECHR. The set's members represent local authorities and landlords in possession claims involving disability discrimination and injunctions pertaining to anti-social behaviour. Interviewees enthuse: "The level of knowledge, even in the junior members of the team, is strong and they are capable of handling any matter." Another source states: "St Philips Chambers offers a full range of expertise." Among the set's significant cases is Wolverhampton City Council and others v London Gypsies and Travellers and others, which saw the Supreme Court rule that the court had jurisdiction to grant the newcomer injunction.
Justin Luckman is senior clerk at the set.
