12 Wentworth Selborne Chambers

12 Wentworth Selborne Chambers has a diverse practice in dispute resolution and litigation, with floor members briefed by leading firms and by regulators such as the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. The set has seen a rise in litigation triggered by major rail and road infrastructure resulting in commercial disputes, in which Greg Sirtes SC, Luke Waterson and Robert White are leading in cases for both Government and private clients. One such example is the case of Sydney Metro v Expandamesh in which Luke led in an appeal concerning the interpretation of provisions in the Transport Administration Act 1989 restricting payment of compensation for compulsory acquisition of underground land for rail tunnels. Jocelyn Jaffray is noted as being ‘dedicated, thorough and reliable’ in the commercial sphere.
