In one recent highlight, he acted in the Supreme Court in Manchester City Council v Pinnock, a case concerning the bearing of Article 8 of the ECHR on possession orders. 

Jonathan Easton of Kings Chambers is "a really solid blue-chip barrister," who handles social housing work as part of a broader public law practice. He is recommended along with Ben McCormack of Garden Court North. An increasingly important presence at the Social Housing Bar, McCormack is praised for his thorough and able approach.

His set further includes John Hobson, who is praised for his work acting for tenants. "Exceptionally good, he is very empathetic with clients and very thorough in his preparation." Laura Cawsey of Garden Court North is noted by sources for the volume of social housing work that she undertakes. Her down-to-earth manner plays very well with her clients.
