With a deep bench of housing law practitioners, Garden Court North Chambers continues to represent tenants and charitable organisations in a wide variety of cases, including possession claims, injunction proceedings and a range of judicial reviews. The barristers at the set are well known for their abilities in complementary areas, such as immigration, human rights and community care law, and bring this expertise to bear in complex cases. Interviewees highlight the set's market-leading knowledge, with one source enthusing that "due to the expertise offered, it is usually our first choice of Chambers to go to," while another states: "The counsel are renowned in the field for their expertise in complex matters." A recent instruction for the set was R (Shakeel) v Manchester City Council, a claim involving a judicial review pertaining to unlawful gatekeeping.
