Monckton Chambers

Jenn joined Chambers as a tenant in October 2022. She has a busy practice spanning Chambers’ core areas of expertise, including competition law, public law and human rights, data protection and information law and sports law.

Current case highlights include:

Acting in a number of competition collective proceedings before the Competition Appeal Tribunal, including for South Western Railway in the ‘boundary fares’ class action and for the WWL defendants in the RoRo Shipping Cartel class action. Acting for a former Afghan interpreter who worked alongside the British armed forces in relation to his application to relocate to the UK following the fall of Kabul. Acting for an asylum-seeker from Iranian Kurdistan in an age dispute case, and successfully securing interim relief in the Admin Court in circumstances where he had (on his claimed age) already turned 18 years old. Acting for the ICO in relation to a £12.7 million fine imposed on TikTok for a number of breaches of data protection law, including failing to use children’s personal data lawfully. Acting for Bolt in both a statutory appeal and judicial review proceedings against HMRC concerning the VAT treatment of ride-hailing services. Acting for Heathrow in its appeal against the Civil Aviation Authority’s decision to modify the price control terms of Heathrow’s economic licence.

Jenn was the recipient of Lincoln’s Inn’s top scholarships for both the GDL and the Bar Course. She achieved a Distinction in the GDL and, in her year on the Bar Course, was ranked 1st in Criminal Litigation and 2nd in Civil Litigation.

Before that, Jenn graduated from Yale University with a BA in Classics (with Distinction) and from the University of Oxford with an MPhil in Ancient Greek and Roman History (with Distinction). She wrote her MPhil thesis on inter-state surrender during the Roman Republic, which bears similarity to extradition in current international law.

Prior to coming to the Bar, Jenn was an investment banker at Morgan Stanley for two years, where she worked on a variety of international mergers and acquisitions. She was born in New York and raised in Hong Kong and Canada.
