Zia Bhaloo KC
‘She is exceptionally calm under pressure, with a steely determination to win.’
At Landmark Chambers, the team’s workload includes a wide range of commercial and residential property litigation, including issues concerning the Electronic Communications Code, rights of light, and protestor injunctions. In a prominent matter, Zia Bhaloo KC, Toby Watkin KC and James Maurici KC are representing the applicants in R(Annington Property Ltd & ors) v The Secretary of State for Defence, a high-profile case concerning whether the Ministry of Defence is permitted to reverse a sale and leaseback arrangement, by which it disposed of its married quarters estate, and reacquire the estate via enfranchisement law; the case is due to be heard by the Court of Appeal. In another matter, Simon Allison led Brooke Lyne in Aviva Investors Ground Rent GP v Williams, a Supreme Court case concerning the interpretation of provisions for calculating service charges payable under the terms of residential leases and involving issues of re-apportionment of service charges. In recent developments for the set, in 2023 Ellodie Gibbons and Mattie Green joined the team, and Justin Bates KC took silk in March 2024.
