Old Square Chambers is ‘an excellent employment set with a depth of talent’. In a prominent case highlight, Michael Ford KC and Nicola Newbegin successfully represented UNISON as intervenor in the Supreme Court in Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland v Agnew, a high-profile case concerning whether workers in the United Kingdom (in this context, officers and other employees of the Police Service in Northern Ireland) to bring historic claims for unpaid holiday pay amounting to unlawful deductions from wages. The Court also ruled that a gap of three months between underpayments of holiday pay does not automatically break the chain of a series of deductions. Among the juniors, Melanie Tether continues to handle complex equal pay matters, which are also a core area of strength for Louise Chudleigh. Key growth for the set includes Rad Kohanzad and Paras Gorasia joining the team in December 2023, and Stuart Brittenden KC being appointed to silk in March 2024.
