Wilberforce Chambers is well-regarded for its extensive capabilities across property litigation. Members of the set routinely act in both commercial and residential landlord and tenant cases as well as development, rural economy and title matters. Recent highlights include London Trocadero v Picturehouse Cinemas and others, concerning landlords taking secret commissions on insurance payments – Jonathan Seitler KC is acting for the tenant and leading Benjamin Faulkner. Martin Hutchings KC is leading Harriet Holmes in Almacantar Centre Point Nominee No.1 Ltd & Anr v. 17 leaseholders of flats in Centre Point House, the first Court of Appeal case to provide guidance on the definition of ‘cladding remediation’ in the Building Safety Act.
