What is Chancery Law?
The majority of chancery work concerns dealings in property and invariably overlaps with a number of other areas, including land, insolvency and contracts. Chancery law is relevant to a wide variety of scenarios and industries. Members of Chambers have acted for a wide range of landowners, including banks and care homes, as well as private and commercial landlords.
Navigating Chancery law can be complex and multi-layered because Chancery law has the scope to intersect with other areas of the law regularly. In turn, seeking guidance from an experienced Chancery law barrister is highly-advised.
What is the Difference between Traditional and Commercial Chancery Law?
Chancery work is normally divided into traditional and commercial chancery, usually depending on whether the action arose out of a commercial context or otherwise.
Traditional Chancery work typically concerns the lives of private individuals, including members of a family, homeowners, landlords or tenants. Examples of traditional Chancery work include disputes between family members upon the execution of a will or individual insolvency.
In contrast, commercial Chancery work concerns the commercial context. Examples of commercial Chancery work include a breach of fiduciary duties by a director or a contractual dispute between business partners.
