Research
The central theme of Angharad's research is domestic commercial law. She teaches and researches on areas of commercial and corporate law, especially personal property, secured financing, insurance, and corporate insolvency issues.
She completed her doctorate ‘An exploration of the legal minefield of retention of title clauses’. The thesis provided a comprehensive critique on the law governing retention of title clauses and explored the conceptual and practical problems for those parties seeking to rely on the clauses.
Her current research focuses on corporate insolvency law and financially distressed companies. Her research examines current issues with corporate insolvency law and practice in the UK. Specifically, her research focuses on the impact of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 and how the permanent measures (with an emphasis on the new standalone moratorium) have been used, understood, and received by various stakeholders, most notably secured and unsecured creditors. Her research has led to publications within notable journals such as the ‘Journal of Corporate Law Studies,’ ‘European Business Law Review’ and the 'Nottingham Insolvency and Business Law eJournal.'
