Michael asks

Leo - your recent updates have confused me. Are we contributing to Renae's legal costs, or to a potential settlement fund to go to Bob Jones, or both?

Leo

Kia Ora Michael, To be completely honest with you, we simply don't know. No one can predict the outcome of a court case. If Renae wins the case, she will still have a mountain of legal costs and travel costs to cover. If she loses the case, as well as her own costs she could potentially be penalised by having to pay the plaintiff's legal costs, which he testified in court that he does not know how much has been spent. Along with the lawyers, evidence from three expert witnesses were presented in court this week. All of these will have mounting costs. So that is the facts as they stand this week, with another week of court proceedings to continue. Nga mihi, Leo Koziol on behalf of Renae Maihi's support team
