Katrina joined Kensington Swan’s litigation team
in 2006, and was promoted to Associate in 2008.
She specialises in insolvency and property-related litigation, in
particular the enforcement of payments arising under the
Construction Contracts Act 2002.
Katrina was co-counsel in the Court
of Appeal and in the Supreme Court in Laywood
v Holmes Construction Wellington Ltd [2009] 2 NZLR 243, which
determined that construction contract debts were capable of
enforcement through bankruptcy notices (and likely statutory
demands). It is also the leading case on
various aspects of enforcement procedure.
She has since assisted Queens Counsel in the first decision relating
to associate owner liability under the Construction Contracts Act
2002.
Katrina is an expert in voidable transactions. She acted for the
creditor (Blanchett v The Roofing Specialists Ltd (2009)
10 NZCLC 264,583).
Katrina has provided litigation support to US lawyers in
relation to a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and assisted in obtaining an
order from the New Zealand Courts recognising the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
under the Insolvency (Cross-border) Act 2006 (the first application
of its kind).
