Statement by Colin Better, 10 October 2007
During August
and September 2007 there were telephone calls and letters between me
and Neil Emerson of Bircham Dyson Bell, solicitors for Central
Hall Westminster Ltd. The upshot was that we agreed a settlement
without Court hearings. We agreed a "Tomlin Order" and jointly
submitted a draft Consent Order to Central London County Court. Under
the agreement I undertook not to disclose the terms of the Tomlin Order
which were spelled out in the Schedule to the Order. I can say, though,
that I found the Order very satisfactory from the point of view of
people with sight and/or hearing problems. I believe that improvements
for such people at the Central Hall Westminster will become
apparent in future months. It may be worth while keeping an eye on the
website for Central Hall Westminster:

Document 7 is
the final correspondance from Central London County Court with as much
as I can disclose. The Schedule is not reproduced here in the spirit of
the Tomlin Order agreed.
END OF STORY!
