Hi Al and Jane
See attached - I have gone through again with a view to addressing your points: let me know what you think.

On structured discussions, I think that if we are saying we mediate all non-criminal, and mediate, if there is cause, the non-criminal
elements of criminal cases, the case for structured discussions starts to fall.

On suspense accounts, I think we should make clear that in this option we would engage with Second Sight on issues relevant to
individual cases - so if suspense accounts are a factor in a particular case, yes we should focus on that, but if there is no evidence
they are relevant to cases, we shouldn't engage in detail. I have tried to capture that.

Best wishes,

Mark

Mark, this feels to have to have lost some of the subtlety of the conversations that we have been having:

- looking at mediating the non-criminal element of criminal cases

- supporting the criminal cases with structured conversations -allowing SS to finish their work and working positively with them on
suspense accounts

- saying the note for SC is all about the inaccurate stuff - which it is but is also about setting out our narrative and answering the
SC's conversations

I think the tone will disconcert the SC and will be unhelpful if its ever gets into the public domain, legal privilege being a tricky
thing.

Can we write it as you speak and as you would write externally please?

Thanks Al

All

Please see attached a first draft of paper for the Sparrow sub committee. Please can you make this a priority and let me have
comments by close of play today. Please ignore the formatting on the paper, which will be fixed once we are all happy. Please restrict

Thanks
