MR HELMAN: No, sir.

PN5

THE SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Are you an agent or? What is your status?

MR DOUGLAS: Yes. Sorry, your Honour.

PN9

THE SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Yes. What is it all about, Mr Helman?

PN10

MR HELMAN: Sir, just before we commence. There hasn't been any mediation in this. My understanding when I discussed it with my colleague, Mr Douglas, is that it might be appropriate to - we had an informal discussion about that a few days ago - it might be appropriate to have some form of mediation before we proceed to a hearing.

PN11

MR DOUGLAS: We have no objections to that, your Honour.

THE SENIOR DEPUTY PRESIDENT: Yes. We will go off the record, thanks.
