It is not uncommon for her caseload to straddle different practice areas. By way of example in Tanfield (as executor of the Estate of Paul Watkins) v Meadowbrook Montessori Ltd [2024] EWHC 1759 (Ch) the dispute concerned a winding up petition (corporate insolvency) where the dispute involved the construction of forfeiture provisions (property law) and the landlord had passed away (probate dimension).
