Provided by Alexander Campbell
Alexander Campbell is the a go-to barrister for complex social housing cases in particular involving intricate and novel issues around discrimination, the Equality Act 2010 and human rights. Moreover, Alexander’s experience in other areas of public law, including the Court of Protection and community care law, mean that he is particularly adept in social housing cases which cut across those areas of law.
Recent work highlights include:
• Johnson v LB Ealing - Successfully arguing that a local authority is entitled to prioritise the evidence of a consultant psychiatrist over the evidence of a social worker or nurse
• LB Ealing v Collister and Bounoua – representing the local authority in an application for an injunction to disrupt serious gang violence and turf wars within Ealing.
• Simon Prestage v Brighton Housing Trust – representing Mr Prestage in a case of wider importance because many housing providers purport to grant homeless people mere licences rather than tenancies.
Alexander was called to the Bar following his remarkably strong academic background. He holds a law degree from Trinity College, Cambridge, where he received multiple prizes for his academic performance. He holds a master’s degree in French Law from l’Université de Paris II – Panthéon-Assas, as well as a master’s degree with distinction in public law and human rights from University College London.
