Members of Blackstone Chambers are highly regarded for expertise in international boundary disputes, cases of state immunity and international protection of human rights, frequently appearing before the highest international courts. Paul Luckhurst and Timothy Otty KC acted in de Borbón y Borbón v Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Sayn on behalf of the former king of Spain, arguing that a claim for harassment brought by his former mistress is blocked by personal immunity under the State Immunity Act 1978.
