Radcliffe Chambers
Radcliffe Chambers combines its knowledge of pure property litigation with more specialised and complex experience in issues involving property tax disputes and enfranchisement issues, with matters crossing over with the set’s expertise in Chancery work. William Moffett stood before the Supreme Court in Guest v Guest, a dispute which had serious ramifications regarding the appropriate remedy in cases of proprietary estoppel. Marie-Claire Bleasdale was involved in Barchester Healthcare Homes Limited & Barchester Nominee Limited v Roxbury Holding Limited, a case involving issues of boundary disputes, purported easements, and alleged trespass, against the backdrop of uncertainty caused by Land Registry delays.
