Jonathan Seitler KC acted for the successful Respondent in the Court of Appeal in Yee Shi Yin & Others v 174 Solicitors Limited which concerned a claim by multiple purchasers of off-plan units in city centre blocks against the vendor’s solicitors for having paid away moneys held as stakeholder.

Jonathan led Michael Bowmer of 4 New Square and was instructed by Phil Murrin and Chris Lewis of DAC Beachcroft.
