We are looking forward to mediation and an independent view of our case. It will be great to have a discussion, something we have been pushing for a long time. You would think the findings from mediation would be presented at court but these are without prejudice discussions and a way of finding a settlement without the expense of court. It will be good to have the views of a third party. We did a lot of homework before setting up HMS and the we are not unique – therefore issues up for discussion affect many other studios. Despite the case ticking along in the background and the topic of conversation most evenings, I am going through a phase of total absorption in my paintings. Some good days some bad but total involvement with oils.
