Chambers UK 2022, CHANCERY

Proprietary estoppel is one of Adam’s main specialisms. As a pupil he attended the Court of Appeal with Leslie Blohm QC, also of this Chambers, in the proprietary estoppel case of Davies v Davies [2014] EWCA Civ 568. Adam then wrote the article ‘The Promised Land’ which analysed the main issues in the case and was published in the Law Society’s Private Client magazine. He was then (as a tenant) instructed to act for Eirian Davies and appeared alongside the QC in the matter’s second trip to the Court of Appeal on the topic of quantum (Davies and Another v Davies [2016] EWCA Civ 463). He has since been involved in another reported proprietary estoppel / common intention constructive trust case – Culliford v Thorpe [2018] EWHC 426 (Ch). Adam is fast becoming the “go to” barrister for some solicitors in this area.

In addition, Adam has given numerous talks and seminars on the topic of proprietary estoppel, and maintains an ongoing academic interest in the evolution of the doctrine.
