Commercial
Much of Jack’s work is based, at heart, on an understanding of the underlying contractual and commercial principles governing these relationships. In addition to that, Jack’s experience encompasses:
- Disputes in relation to financing agreements, for example a multi-million pound dispute over the provision of finance to enable the purchase of domestic solar panels (junior to Ben Quiney QC).
- Disputes concerning the payment of commission to estate agents.
- Individual and corporate insolvency cases for creditors and debtors.
- Cases giving rise to private international law issues, including:
- representing buyers of land situated in The Gambia in a dispute against the sellers; and,
- advising a shipping company in a dispute arising out of the import of instant noodles into Scotland.
- Advising victims of online fraud in relation to the purchase of iPads.
- Successfully representing a claimant roofing company in a claim for unpaid fees that was defended on the basis that the debt had been settled by the provision of free curry.
