1 Tim Pullen Call 1993 Phone Practice Overview Tim is a very experienced civil practitioner. He came to the Bar late after working for some years for the Greater London Citizens Advice Bureaux Service as a full time professional adviser and then a social security tribunal representative. He was called to the Bar in 1993 and practiced in London from the Chambers of David Barnard. Tim quickly developed a broad civil practice with a specialisation in employment law. He was fortunate to be instructed by large trade unions from an early stage of his career at the Bar giving him the opportunity to appear regularly in appellate tribunals. In 2001, Tim joined Chambers in Truro on a part time basis but continued to practice from London. In 2004, he moved to Doughty Street Chambers joining its employment and housing teams. Over the last few years, Tim has based himself entirely in Cornwall and now practices solely from Chambers Truro and Plymouth sites. He advises and represents clients in cases concerning land law, the law of landlord and tenant, insolvency, personal injury and contractual disputes as well as employment and housing law. Tim is very approachable and is always willing to discuss cases informally with solicitors. He also accepts public access cases. Qualif ications and appointments Called to the Bar: 1993 Middle Temple

The Defendants also argued that the mortgage was a regulated agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, that it was unenforceable because no default notice was served, it was unfair within the meaning of section 140A of the 1974 Act and the requisite notice had not been served under the Cancellation of Contracts Made in a Consumers Home or Place of Work etc Regulations The case settled on terms satisfactory to the Defendants.
