Commercial Litigation

Members of Brick Court Chambers undertake a great number and variety of contractual business-to-business disputes. Many of these do not fall into any of the specific categories identified elsewhere in this website. By way of just a few examples, we frequently encounter claims relating to breach of warranty, distribution agreements, joint ventures and intellectual property. In addition, some members of Chambers are regularly involved in disputes relating to insolvency, unfair prejudice and other aspects of company law. Members of Chambers often appear on issues relating to privilege and conflict of interest, as well as all aspects of procedure and court practice relating to commercial disputes.

Recent examples include:

  • HIH Casualty and General Insurance Limited v FAI General Insurance Company Limited (House Of Lords)
  • Leofelis v Lonsdale Sports Ltd (Court of Appeal)
  • Olafsson v Professor Hannes Holmsteinn Gissurarson (Court of Appeal)
