Mr Bollard of Philip Lee and Mr Butler of Arthur Cox bested the runners-up, David Foy of MacSweeney & Co and Katie Lee of Hoban Boino. Mr Bollard was also named best individual advocate.

The teams argued a topical issue of whether there was an unenumerated constitutional right to housing, and a right of a family to reside together, based on the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights.
