Enterprise Chambers has a solid reputation in the property litigation space, with particular strength in handling landlord and tenant disputes. Kavan Gunaratna is representing the claimant in ICG Longbow v C&C Alpha Group Ltd, a claim for rent review of a lease of a failed property development in London. In a separate matter, Edward Francis successfully represented various lessees of a block of flats before the Court of Appeal in Duchess of Bedford House RTM Co Ltd & Ors v Campden Hill Gate Ltd, a longrunning case concerning parking rights. Elsewhere in chambers, Sally Anne Blackmore appeared before the Court of Appeal in Pretoria Energy Company (Chittering) Ltd v Blankney Estates Ltd, which concerned whether a document containing heads of terms regarding a proposal to grant a lease was binding and enforceable.
