Overview

Oliver Ingham is an experienced trial advocate in both the Chancery and Family Division of the High Court, and specialises in the broad range of traditional and commercial Chancery work. In particular, Oliver regularly appears in both divisions representing parties to claims brought under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 “The 1975 Act”. 

Oliver is widely recognised for his expertise and is highly regarded as a leading junior/leading individual in the three main Directories/League Tables and Rankings as recommended counsel for matters that include Chancery (particularly claims brought under the Inheritance Act 1975 and estate-related litigation under CPR 64), Tax, Probate and Private Client work.

  • Legal 500 (London Bar) - Private Client - Trusts and Probate - Tier 1), Oliver was named a “Rising Star”.
  • Legal 500 (Midlands Bar) - Chancery, Tax and Probate, Oliver is likewise ranked highly (Tier 1) and again was also named as a “Rising Star” by them.
  • Chambers and Partners, High Net Worth Guide (Chancery: Traditional - London Bar), Oliver is ranked/recommended as “up and coming” by them.
  • Chambers and Partners, UK Bar, London (Chancery: Traditional) - Oliver is recommended as “up and coming" in this field.

Recent highlights include acting in the widely covered Kaur v Estate of Karnail Singh & Ors [2023] EWHC 304,  the widely reported/significant appeal in the Supreme Court Hirachand [2022] 1 WLR 1162, and tangentially similar case/appeal in Jassall v Shah [2021] EWHC 3552 (Ch) which significantly changed the law regarding the treatment of costs during as opposed to after the event.

In Kaur v Singh [2023] EWHC 304 Mr Justice Peel said of Oliver that he presented the case with "impeccable efficiency, enabling the court to get to grips swiftly with the factual background, issues, legal principles and suggested outcome", and described his conduct of the case "exemplary". In Baxter v Todd [2019] EWHC 1959 the Court noted that “[His] performance was first class…really first class” and that “[He] argued [his] case with very considerable skill”.

Oliver predominantly practices in London, as well as the Midlands (particularly from our Birmingham Centre) insofar as his Probate/Islamic Finance practice is concerned and has appeared in the Business and Property Courts in Bristol, Birmingham and Manchester. Oliver is therefore also used to appearing in the Chancery Division in District Registries other than London. Oliver specialises particularly in representing Sikh and Muslim communities in probate disputes, and many of his cases have a strong cultural/ religious component to them.

Oliver has a keen interest in the Muslim and Sikh faiths, which inform his work. Most recently, Oliver studied Shari'a Law at the University of Edinburgh and is increasingly instructed on matters concerning Islamic finance (particularly as it pertains to Inheritance) and can represent claimants and defendants at the Muslim Arbitration Tribunal and at Court on a wide variety of matters related to Shari'a Law.

Oliver is an affiliate of the Society of Trusts and Estates Practitioners and can advise on non-contentious probate matters, including in relation to estate planning.

Oliver also undertakes a wide variety of commercial chancery work, including commercial disputes where there is a strong emphasis on equitable relief/ breach of trust.

Oliver also has an interest in costs-only probate, insolvency and commercial proceedings, (particularly detailed assessment proceedings in the Senior Courts costs office).

Reported cases

Kaur v Estate of Karnail Singh & Ors [2023] EWHC 304; [2023] 2 WLUK 214 

Oliver acted for the successful Claimant in the case Kaur v Estate of Karnail Singh & Ors [2023] EWHC 304 (Fam) where the Mrs Kaur was excluded from her husband’s Will notwithstanding a marriage of 66 years. The Deceased excluded his wife and four daughters because the he wished to leave his estate solely down the male line. The Judgment secured is worth nearly £1,000,000.

Riaz v Riaz and Ors (Insolvent Administration Order) [2022] EWHC Ch 229

Oliver successfully obtained an Insolvent Administration Order on behalf of the petitioning creditor/beneficiary of an Estate. The proceedings were contentious, and involved five Counsel. Clarification was given on the legal principles, including when the lower or higher burden of proof viz Insolvency applies.

Hirachand v Hirachd [2021] EWCA Civ 1498; [2022] 1 W.L.R. 1162; {2022] 1 F.C.R. 757;[2022] W.T.L.R. 185

This case found for the first time that a Court could order an estate to pay for a CFA uplift as part of an award under the Inheritance Act 1975. Further, an award was made by video link in circumstances where the defendant (who was unrepresented) a profoundly deaf and disabled 87 year old woman who could not hear or see what was going on. The defendant had been debarred from defending the claim.

Since this decision was handed down, it has become commonplace for claimants to now claim entitlement to be paid a CFA uplift in most 1975 Act claims that come before the chancery or family division of the High Court. Oliver was instructed to appeal the decision to the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal found that CFA uplifts were recoverable from an estate.

Gitto Estates Ltd (t/a Horizon Properties) v Persons Unknown [2021] EWHC (QB) 1997; WLUK 175

Oliver acted for the successful application for an injunction restraining interference with the proprietary rights of the claimant.

Hanger Holdings v Perlake Corporation SA & Anor [2021] EWHC 81 (Ch)

Oliver represented the defendant pre-trial (including settling the pleadings) in relation to the allegation that a website domain name (blackjack.com) was held on trust by the defendant. The case confirmed for the first time that a domain name is intangible property which can be subject to equitable interests/held on trust.

Williams v Nu Design and Build [2021] EWHC 197; [2021] 1 WLUK 148

Oliver successfully defeated an application for summary judgment in circumstances where the claimant sought to persuade the court that a clause of a contract was unreasonable pursuant to the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977. The court held that it was generally inappropriate to summarily determine reasonableness before liability had been established, because the court would necessarily need to know what liability was sought to be excluded under the term.

Re H [2020] EWHC 1134 (Fam) ;[2020] 2 F.L.R. 561; [2020] W.T.L.R. 479 [2020] C.L.Y. 1773

Oliver is instructed in the appeal of this decision to the Court of Appeal on behalf of the appellant/beneficiary. The Court of Appeal will consider whether the High Court erred in law when awarding the claimant her CFA uplift.

HCQ Sarl v Terre Primitive Limited [2019] EWHC 2556 (Ch); [2019] WLUK 385 (before Norris J)

Oliver successfully represented the claimant in obtaining an injunction restraining the holding of a meeting/placement of the company into members voluntary liquidation (MVL). The case set out the principles to be applied when one seeks to injunct a company's members from placing the company into MVL.

Premiair Areospace v Foley [2019] EWHC 1805 (QB) (before Whipple J)

This case concerned the extent to which summary judgment should be available in cases involving dishonest assistance/knowing receipt when breach of trust is alleged.

Baxter v Todd [2019] All ER 194 (Jul); [2019] EWHC 1959 (Ch)

Oliver successfully represented the defendant in the trial of a will claim involving undue influence, the illegality defence and constrictive trusts.

Pantiles Investments v Winckler [2019] All ER 134 (Mar); [2019] 2 BCLC 295

Popely v Drukkers Solicitors [2019] EWHC 187 (QB); [2019] 2 WLUK 224

Oliver acted for the claimant in a claim for breach of confidence (and application for injunction) against solicitors who intended to use e-mails allegedly stolen from the claimant in a trial of a separate action commencing in the Chancery Division.

Unreported/ Other High Court cases

Re K [2021] EWHC (Ch)

Oliver is acting for the Defendants to a Claim brought against an alleged Islamic Wife of the Deceased who claims to have a void marriage, and is therefore entitled to Claim against the Estate of the Deceased as if she were a spouse. The primary dispute concerns whether the Claimant had a "non-marriage" or whether the Claimant had a "void marriage". Again, this case forms part of Oliver's general Islamic Finance caseload given his specific interest in the overlap between Sharia Law and Probate. Oliver is likely to act as sole Counsel in respect of both a preliminary issue trial regarding eligibility, as well as any substantive trial which come before the High Court should the Claimant be found to have a "void Marriage".

Re T [2021] EWHC (Fam)

Oliver is acting as sole Counsel instructed by Adamas and Remer LLP for the Claimant minor children in a Claim brought under section 10 of the Inheritance Act 1975 to set aside transfers made by the Deceased to his Father deliberately before death (with a view, it is said, to putting his assets beyond reach of the Claimants). Oliver will represent the Claimants in a preliminary issue trial in respect of the application under section 10, and any Judgment is likely to be of interest given that it will be the first time the power under section 10 of the 1975 Act is specifically considered along-side the remedies provided by the Insolvency Act.

Premiair v Privaero [2019] EWHC 197 (QB) (Queen’s Bench Division, led by Lord Marks KC)

Oliver acted as junior counsel for the claimant in a fraud/dishonest assistance/knowing receipt claim.

Vitillo v Riddiough [2020] EWHC 187 (Ch)

Oliver acted for the successful spousal claimant in respect of a claim brought against a £1,400,000 estate (in which the claimant obtained nearly all the assets in the estate).

Oliver represented a defendant beneficiary in a claim brought against a £2,000,000 estate by cohabitant claimants.

J v P [2020] (Chancery Division)

Oliver represented the claimant in a will challenge (capacity) brought against a £800,000 Estate.

Corona v Corona [2019] (Family Division)

Oliver acted for the successful spousal claimant in respect of a claim brought against a £750,000 estate.

Deutsche Leasing Limited v Zaskin College [2018] EWHC 110 (QBD)

Kapadia v Falayie [2017] EWHC 2030 (Ch)

W v F [2017] EWHC 291 (Fam)

Oliver acted as sole counsel on behalf of the claimant in an adult-child claim under the 1975 Act brought in respect of a £1,700,000 estate.

Gao v Atwal [2017] EWHC 2011 (Ch)

Oliver represented the successful defendant in a claim concerning prescription/rights of way.

Hume v Jackson [2017] (Chancery Division, Manchester)

Oliver represented the sole beneficiary of a £1,300,000 estate in his defence of a claim brought by a co-habitant under the 1975 Act.

Ball v Jackson and ors [2016] EWHC 88 (Ch)

Oliver represented the successful claimant in a Part 64 claim concerning the construction of a will, as well as a dispute over the propriety of a prospective costs order.
