Dispute resolution. Counsel at Tennyson have many years of successful experience in dealing with disputes concerning real estate whether it be from, for example,

  • boundary disputes.
  • rights of way.
  • rights to light.
  • restrictive covenants.
  • party wall disputes.
  • nuisance claims.
  • adverse possession of land.
  • squatting.
  • land registration issues, or
  • ownership issues.
  • Landlord and tenant.

Advantages of early mediation and dispute resolution in real estate disputes.

Mediation, arbitration and early independent neutral evaluation are encouraged by the courts for successful dispute resolution without the need for the parties to engage in expensive litigation. Where land is concerned emotions can run high, and cases can often be tense involving complex issues of law and fact.

Often parties are in a continuing contractual relationship or live very close to one another.

Mediation offers an opportunity for the parties to explore settlement, and find the key issues in the dispute.

Barristers at Tennyson, as mediators, are here to assist all parties. So as to resolve their dispute at a reasonable and proportionate cost, and to assist in finding a satisfactory settlement which all parties can be confident about. This may involve giving parties a reality check about their case.

What experience do our Counsel bring to such cases?

At Tennyson we are accustomed to dealing with expert survey evidence. As well as expert reports, such as surveyors and valuers, in the context of litigation and mediation.

Our Counsel have experience before the adjudicator at the Land Registry Tribunal in dealing with land ownership disputes.
