Hi Matt, Pia and all

I will not be in Sydney on the 22nd October the scheduled day for this 
mediation, however, I recall reading an email from Pia saying she was 
appearing on our behalf.

Pia, I would suggest the following tactics at the mediation if the 
matter proceeds.

Firstly, LaForest is going assert that this screen has been there for 
some years and he will rely upon the 2 photographs that he has 
tendered.  The photograph which purports to be taken some years ago does 
not clearly show the screen jutting out to the balcony railing.  Diana 
Denison (the complainant) should really be appearing to inform the 
mediator that this screen has only appeared in sight from her side of 
the balcony when this matter was brought to the attention of the EC back 
in early July.

Secondly, a video was taken (I think by Dianas friend Phil) from their 
side of the balcony showing this screen jutting out past the separating 
brick wall of the 2 balconies and it also shows this screen flapping 
uncontrollably in the wind.  That video is critical to these proceedings 
and should be shown to the mediator.

Regards
Brook
