‘Top tier’ when it comes to agricultural matters, Falcon Chambers’ expertise spans the breadth of the sector, acting in proprietary estoppel, partnership and land ownership disputes for major agricultural landowners. Caroline Shea KC is highly versed in partnership disputes regarding farm land; she appeared in Allan v Allan, a familial dispute where one brother seeks to dissolve the partnership on the grounds of prejudicial conduct. Edward Peters KC appeared in the second appeal of the highly significant Proctor v Proctor, which clarified the law on financial entitlement following retirement from a partnership. Jonathan Karas KC acted in R (Trio Square) v Forestry Commission, a judicial review of the Commission’s decision to issue a re-stocking notice. Emily Windsor leads another in an Upper Tribunal claim seeking to vary a restrictive covenant to permit the construction of a housing development.
