Elizabeth regularly accepts instructions in matrimonial finance matters. She acts on both a Public and Privately funded basis. She appears in FDAs, FDRs and Final Hearings.

Elizabeth is regularly instructed on complex matters that require asset tracing, pension experts, trusts and disclosure.

Elizabeth is regularly retained in TOLATA matters, where she draws on her Family Finance and Property experience.

In a recent case, Elizabeth advised a client that what they had assumed to be a TOLATA claim was better made by a claim under the Matrimonial Proceedings and Property Act 1970 (MPPA 1970) through the Family Court. The parties had been engaged, and therefore under MPPA 1970, there was a presumption that her client had gained a share in the property or increased it.

Elizabeth has been instructed in respect of landlord and tenant matters (commercial and residential), injunctions, unlawful eviction claims and possession hearings.

A recent instruction was on a 7-day multitrack case involving ten claimants, over 2000 pages of evidence and a hybrid hearing. The case was a classic crossover case involving housing law, property law, and consumer rights legislation.

Recently Elizabeth was instructed by the Official Solicitor to represent a vulnerable client who had lost capacity (was without a deputy) and had a possession order granted against them. The freeholder was seeking to obtain forfeiture of the lease and make the client homeless.
