Peter Jolley completed pupillage in these Chambers in 2015. He began cutting his teeth with daily outings to court, but has since also developed a busy advisory and paperwork practice. He splits his time roughly equally between negligence-based claims – P.I., clinical and professional negligence – on the one hand, and property and contractual work on the other.
This balance of work sees Peter drawing on the experience he gained before the Bar. He began working life as a teacher and then managed commercial bids at one of the world’s largest IT companies. He worked with people from many different walks of life and became known for being approachable, straightforward and sensible, yet firm. He is authorised for Public Access work.
Peter recently won at trial obtaining a declaration that five lessees may use a disputed easement over an adjoining driveway. There were allegations of oversubscription and harassment, all of which failed. He has dealt with a number of adverse possession and boundary dispute claims involving matters such as a disagreement over the position of an ancient field boundary. His work also often seems to involve construction matters, which provides natural overlap with his contract and professional negligence practice. He is a member of the PBA.
Peter has dealt with innumerable possession matters across the entire range of possible cases, from 1954 Act matters, commercial and residential forfeiture, through ASTs, to secure tenancies. He has also undertaken a considerable amount of disrepair work, with cases running into the hundreds. Such cases have involved tenants of all descriptions, professional landlords and local authorities. He also advises on matters including service charges, collective enfranchisement and absentee landlords.
