About the contributor(s)
Jonathan Small QC, Barrister, Falcon Chambers
Jonathan is an advocate whose court-room skills were recently praised by Chambers and Partners (2007) as being ‘nothing short of incredible’. He regularly acts for clients in the traditional commercial property fields such as restrictive covenants, rights of way and adverse possession. In addition to this, Jonathan has been instructed in cases involving the developing areas of law such as human rights, purpose trusts and damages and causation. One aspect of practice he particularly enjoys is the interpretation of complex agreements such as rent review clauses, sale and purchase agreements, coverage provisions and s 106 agreements: much of Jonathan’s court work involves advising and where necessary litigating about the true meaning of such agreements.
