Hi Pia,
  Did the lawyers give any indication as to the validity of Mr La 
forest  claims and the prospects of us wining this action. As it appears 
this will cost the building 5k+ to defend are there any prospects of Mr 
LaForest having to pay costs or is that not how these actions work and 
we have to pay our own costs, also could perhaps if he were to win be 
awarded costs. Considering Mr LaForest has always engaged a QC in the 
past it may be possible that loosing this action may cost the strata 
$15k+ in addition to us having to clean the balcony of 601 on an ongoing 
basis.  This whole episode could easily costs the owners corporation 
$20k if costs could be award.

Could you give us an outline of this process and any potential remedy  
at our disposal. Brook do you know anything about this process could 
costs be awarded or are we all responsible for our own.


Matt.
