Chambers of Adrian Keeling KC and Jonathan Jones KC
No5 Barristers’ Chambers brings both a national presence through its offices around the country and experience in appearing before the First-Tier Tribunal up to the Upper Tribunal, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court to its representation of a wide range of claimants. Manjit Singh Gill KC was part of the team representing a Sudanese individual in the wider Rwanda litigation of R (AAA and others) v Secretary of State of the Home Department, alleging unlawful transfer of personal data and failure to investigate data protection concerns involved in the scheme. Abid Mahmoud represented a refugee appellant in the Court of Appeal in SR (Sri Lanka) v SSHD regarding the impact of anti-government activities (in this case, support for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam during the Sri Lankan Civil War) on the likelihood of ill-treatment on return to his home country.
