Finance & Risk
Council’s solicitor for the appeal advises that “unless we intend to engage a visual expert to
make an assessment, I strongly recommend that we accept the without prejudice offer.
However, I consider it unlikely that another visual expert is going to reach a different conclusion
and that, in terms of the issue of costs and prospects in the matter, I recommend that the
Appellant’s report be accepted”.
