Ben's Experience

  • Instructed by the Respondent (as advocate) in the reported case of Fairhold Mercury Ltd v HQ (Block 1) Action Management Ltd [2013] UKUT 487 successfully resisting an appeal by a freeholder from the lower tribunal decision that an RTM Company could still be an RTM company even if it didn’t adopt the model articles or use “RTM” in its name.
  • Instructed as advocate by a defendant who was being sued by an insurance company after it was alleged he had been involved in a fraudulent road traffic accident, which resulted in a number of personal injury claims. At trial, the insurance company’s claim was dismissed and the defendant was awarded his costs on an indemnity basis.
  • Represented a wife whose husband had been convicted of defrauding his employer of millions over a period of 10 years. The employer sought to recover some of its losses under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Ben was successful in securing the wife’s interest in the assets, and thus providing security for her and her son.
