Speakers
Daniel has a broad commercial chancery practice, incorporating property, commercial, civil fraud, insolvency, company and financial services disputes. Daniel regularly appears in the High Court and County Court in his own right, as well as working with senior members of Chambers on larger cases.
He has significant experience in obtaining possession orders on various grounds. His recent landlord and tenant work includes:
- Successfully obtaining possession of commercial premises where the tenant had been dissolved and the lease disclaimed by the Crown
- Acting for a landlord of residential premises in the First-Tier Tribunal, successfully resisting an application to challenge service charges. Issues included the correct application of the Supreme Court decision in Williams v Aviva Investors Ground Rent GP Ltd [2023] UKSC 6 on apportionment, and reasonableness of insurance premiums
- Acting for commercial tenants in a £15 million claim for specific performance and damages following breach of covenants and nuisance due to prolonged water ingress (led by Justin Kitson KC)
Ebun became a tenant at Selborne Chambers in October 2024, following the successful completion of her pupillage. She has since developed a busy and diverse practice spanning all of Chambers’ core areas, including commercial disputes, insolvency, and property. Whilst happy to be led, Ebun regularly appears as sole counsel in fast-track/intermediate-track, and small claims track cases. She also appears in the High Court and the Insolvency and Companies Court.
Ebun read Law at the University of Brighton, where she was awarded multiple academic prizes, including the Lexis Nexis Prize for Best Second Year Student. She then completed the prestigious Bachelor of Civil Law programme at the University of Oxford and was later called to the Bar by The Inner Temple.
Ebun provides seminars and has previously taught at the University of Bristol. She is also a member of the Attorney General’s Junior Junior Panel.
