Karamjit Singh

He is happy to accept instructions on all types of commercial and contractual disputes. He has also advised and represented clients on a range of different property disputes, including ToLATA claims.

Karamjit has a special interest in contentious probate and Inheritance Act claims. 

Karamjit is instructed on behalf of local authorities, social housing providers and institutional landlords across the full range of housing management disputes. He is instructed to give clear, early advice on liability and quantum, and to take them through to trial when settlement is not possible; he is often instructed on matters with urgent listings and out-of-hours injunctions, where required.

His practice spans the County Court, High Court and appellate work, with a particular emphasis on anti-social behaviour injunctions and disrepair defences. He is known for calm, practical case handling, tight pleadings, and robust cross-examination.

Karamjit is a qualified mediator, having completed mediation training through the Society of Mediators. This experience complements his practice by sharpening his ability to identify the real issues in dispute, approach cases constructively, and assist parties in reaching practical and proportionate resolutions where settlement is achievable. It also informs his work more broadly, particularly in matters requiring careful advice, effective negotiation and sound judgment.

He regularly receives instructions in the following areas –

• Disrepair: liability challenges, quantum, causation, schedule critiques, and costs strategy (Part 36, Calderbank, and interim applications).
• Injunctions: anti-social behaviour, access, and tenancy enforcement: without notice and on short return dates; variation, discharge and committal.
• Possession and estate management: mandatory and discretionary grounds, succession, sub-letting, breach, and Equality Act/Article 8 proportionality.
• Right to Buy: eligibility, delay and the withdrawal or loss of the right.

What instructing solicitors say

“I think Karamjit is an excellent Barrister, his calm but clear approach with the judge and the forensic understanding of our case is always so reassuring.”

“Client was really impressed and very grateful for all your efforts at both trials. It’s very clear to them you put up an extremely robust fight for today’s trial to proceed and put our best case forward, despite a very hostile and frustrating Judge. So wanted to make sure I pass that on. And add my thanks for giving our client such good service.”

Your Skeleton Argument reads exceptionally well and the outcome is great as it provides time for hopefully a settlement and additional pressure to settle.
