Guy has been involved in several significant cases including Crest Residential (South) Limited v McAllister in the Court of Appeal which clarified the law on the annexation of the benefit of Restrictive Covenants and David Wilson Homes Limited v Martin again in the Court of Appeal also upon the application of Restrictive Covenants. He was also a member of the Crown's legal team in  Aberdeen Steak Houses v Crown Estate Commissioners, a leading case on the effectiveness of break notices, and acted for Swiss bank Sogenal in United Bank of Kuwait v Sahib, an important case on the validity of charges on land created by deposit of title deeds.
