Extremely sad that Giles Peaker has passed away.
Since pupillage, Nearly Legal's been my go-to blog for absolutely everything landlord & tenant law.
Giles was really amused when I "fan girled" him @HLPA_UK in 2024 & asked for his autograph in his brilliant book.
RIP, Giles 🙏🏾
We are deeply sorry to announce that one of our Partners, Giles Peaker, passed away over the weekend of 18-19 April 2026. Our deepest condolences go to his family and friends at this most difficult of times.

If anyone “lost” a set of car keys and house keys at Ipswich Crown Court today they have been found in a fellow counsel’s bag! Probably someone in the Essex area. If you are that counsel then DM and I will put you in touch with counsel who found them! @TheCriminalBar
