Selborne Chambers excels in all aspects of property litigation. Members of the set have recently been involved in prominent cases such as London Trocadero LLP v Picturehouse Cinemas Ltd, which centres around the recoverability of insurance commissions. Nicholas Trompeter KC is acting for London Trocadero in this Court of Appeal case. Gary Blaker KC is leading Rahul Varma in Cheshire West and Cheshire Borough Council v Spearmint Rhino Companies (Europe), representing the landlord of a London lap-dancing club seeking to recover possession and over £2m of rent arrears – the defendant argues that the cause was third-party action, namely a burst pipe operated by Thames Water.
