Well, define "30 days late"
Registrars send out renewal notices well in advance of the expiration date.
If she paid it before it actually expired then she does not own it. Yes she renewed it from her personal funds but that's not enough to convey transfer of ownership.
If it was past the renewal date and expired there is a small grace window that registrars often provide before putting it back on the open market. If she paid during that window the issue is grey. Technically it was expired and available but she only knew that through her affiliation and one can conclude her payment was for the benefit of the organization.
If it was past the renewal date and there was no grace period before going back on the open market when she paid then she owns it and you are pretty much SOL unless she is willing to be reasonable.
