” Thank you for forwarding a copy of the terms of settlement. And thank you also, for your professional and competent handling of today’s proceedings”
“I wanted to thank you for all your good content and guidance over the years. It’s been much appreciated by me, the LIJ and the LIV”

“I would just like to thank you for your guidance, patience and insight during the mediation process last Friday. Your help was much appreciated.”
“I just wanted to thank you again for doing such a masterful job as Mediator yesterday. I was very impressed that you were able to so sensibly cut through to the essence of the arguments and keep pushing the matter forwards towards a common sense resolution. I felt a lot of confidence in you throughout the mediation session. Although it would seem that this is the expected role of a Mediator, it is actually quite a skill. I think the fact that you mentioned that you also have past practical commercial experience has provided you with a common sense perspective that others lack.”
