Current Position
We continue to act in relation to the Croyde Bay owners' matter and the issues under discussion with Slee Blackwell. Correspondence dated 23 July 2026 has been received from Slee Blackwell and requires a clear assessment and response strategy. At the end of this reporting period, the owners require clarification of: (1) the current legal and negotiating position; (2) the definitive list of owners represented or otherwise affected; (3) the arrangements for owners to upload or provide relevant documents; and (4) the costs incurred, commitments made and retainer remaining. Our present assessment of the 23 July correspondence, including the points accepted, disputed or requiring further evidence, is: [Elysium to complete].

Any further decision required from a named individual, together with its deadline and consequence of delay, should be added here by Elysium.
Next Steps
Subject to the owners' instructions and confirmation of the available budget, we propose to: 1. provide a concise assessment of the Slee Blackwell correspondence dated 23 July 2026; 2. explain whether a response is required and, if so, identify its specific purpose and intended result before drafting or sending it; 3. confirm the definitive or best-current owner list and explain any remaining uncertainty; 4. issue or confirm the secure process through which owners may provide documents; 5. provide the financial information requested in this report; and 6. identify any evidence or action required from individual owners, with named responsibility and target dates. Expected position by the next report: the owners should have a clear statement of the current position, the purpose and cost of any proposed next legal step, access to the agreed document process, and an updated financial position.
