Does anyone know what the guidelines/ethics are (in the UK) around whether a T is allowed to contact a former client if they stopped working, but the client requested to be contacted if the T started working again. Would it be ethical for the T to initiate contact or would it be up to the client to make the first approach?

It’s the lady I was working with prior to the T who died. In her last email to me she said that she hadn't made a decision regarding reopening her business, but that if she did she would email me to let me know. That was 3 years ago. She has just started advertising again and I'm now tormenting myself wondering whether or not she will get in contact, but also thinking that if I don't hear from her, it might be because she doesn't want to work with me again but doesn't actually want to be upfront and tell me.

I am currently working with someone else, but it’s online and she lives quite a distance away. This other lady is local, and at least we already know each other; if she hadn’t stopped working I would have continued with her and probably never even met the subsequent two.

This has completely thrown me, as after all this time I wasn't expecting to ever have the chance to see her again. I almost wish I hadn't come across her advert, and now I don't know what to do.
