Commercial Agency

The Commercial Agents Regulations have given rise to a great number of disputes. There are very few members of the Bar who have experience of such disputes. Practitioners at Brick Court Chambers have represented parties in cases that have shaped the way this area of law has developed since the adoption of the Regulations in 1993. Members of Chambers have undertaken cases before the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court (and its predecessor the House of Lords) and the European Courts (Court of Justice and General Court (previously the Court of First Instance)).

Recent leading cases have included:

  • Ingmar v Eaton Leonard (ECJ)
  • Lonsdale v Howard & Hallam Ltd (House of Lords)
  • Crane v BSkyB (Court of Appeal)

Members of Chambers accept instructions for both principals and agents and across a very wide variety of sectors.

What the Directories say ...

"For those willing to pay to get the very best," Brick Court has to be a key destination. In the competition/EU law world the very finest practitioners are few on the ground, but a number of them have made a home at this set. "High-quality, practical performers," they ally excellent knowledge of black letter law with superior advocacy skills." (Chambers & Partners 2012, Competition/EU law)

"‘Without question the standout chambers in the competition field', Brick Court Chambers has a ‘leading line-up' of specialists." (Legal 500 2011, Competition/EU law)
