Speakers
Gary practises in all aspects of property law, property damage, professional negligence and commercial chancery litigation.
In addition to landlord and tenant and real property cases, Gary is experienced in property damage, professional negligence and civil fraud claims.
In recent years Gary has appeared in many leading cases both at trial and on appeal. These include:
- P&P/Dreamvar, the landmark Court of Appeal case on property identity fraud
- Ortiz Patino v MGI Golf & Leisure Opportunities Fund Limited, a Court of Appeal case about contractual interpretation of a profit share agreement relating to the Valderrama golf course
- Valbonne Estates Ltd v Cityvalue Estates Ltd, where the Court of Appeal examined the principles relating to the reimposition of an injunction where there has not been full and frank disclosure
- Gibbs v Lakeside Developments Limited, a Court of Appeal case about unjust enrichment and the law of forfeiture
- Devere v LB Hounslow, a Chancery appeal concerning the unlawful mooring of houseboats in Brentford
- Jafari v Tareem Limited a Chancery appeal about noise nuisance and which was listed by Property Week as one of their top 10 property cases of 2020
- Tejani v Fitzroy Place Residential Limited, a high profile TCC trial of a breach of quiet enjoyment and contract claim, where the Claimant alleged that there was a “bubblewrap” popping noise in his apartment
Gary’s versatility often leads him to work outside mainstream property law and he enjoys learning about previously unfamiliar areas of law. Recent instructions have involved planning law, competition law and even personal injury issues. In recent years Gary has also developed a practice in property damage cases, particularly those caused by fires and floods.
Rosamund has a busy and diverse chancery practice across Selborne’s core practice areas. Her work has a particular focus on property and insolvency disputes and she continues to be ranked in Chambers and Partners in Real Estate Litigation.
Rosamund is regularly instructed as both sole and junior counsel, acting in the Business and Property Courts, the County Court and arbitral tribunals, and providing drafting, advisory and mediation services. She also has significant experience working as a part of wider teams, having previously been seconded in the BVI dispute resolution team of a leading international law firm, worked in the litigation team of a leading New Zealand firm as a Pegasus Scholar, and acted as junior counsel for the Cabinet Office in the Covid Inquiry.
