Kingsland Cup semi-finals

21 January, 2025

The semi-finals of the Kingsland Cup, chambers' annual planning and environmental law mooting competition, took place in chambers yesterday evening, 20 January 2025.

The four teams made excellent submissions on a problem centred on the implications for other forms of development of the Supreme Court's decision in Finch and the materiality of international obligations to domestic planning control decisions.  

Congratulations to Archie Hunter and Alessia Lucifora (City University), and Gregor Donaldson and Katherine Wood (ICCA), who advance to the Grand Final, which will take place on 21 February. 

An honourable mention is due to their excellent (but on this occasion, unsuccessful) opponents, Benedict Springbett and Ewan Jenkins Wendon (ICCA), and Chloe Kwan and Fionn McFadden (Oxford).

You can find out more about the moot here. Entries for next year's competition will open in Michaelmas Term.
