Tue 11 Feb 2025 16 29 52 0000 Re External Re Reimbursement Of Outstanding Fees 2740 Grov 194F5D8A 2¶

Hi Sarah,

It is my understanding that your private counsel requested the depositions and transcripts. As your private counsel requested these items, the invoices were directed to them. I cannot speak to any conversations that you had with your private counsel with respect to any notice they provided you as I was not a part of those conversations.
As previously noted, pursuant to the Policy, the Company is not required to reimburse you for settlement costs, attorneys' fees or expenses the Company did not approve in advance. In this case, the Company did not previously approve of the deposition or transcript expenses you are seeking reimbursement for. However, as a courtesy to you, the Company has elected to reimburse you for the $1,426.60.

I am including a copy of the Conditions in the Policy for your reference (this is located on Page 3 of your Policy):

Hi Marimar,

The total cost was $2,853.20.

Can you please point me to where the policy states that I am responsible for fees related to the lawsuit? You or Brett did not provide me with information before depositions and transcripts as they are required for the law suit.

Looking forward to your clarification and documentation.

Best,

Sarah

Good Morning Sarah,

Thank you for the additional information. At this time, the company will, as a courtesy to you, reimburse you for $1,426.60. The Company will not be reimbursing Banks and Riedel. As previously noted, for future expenses, you will need to acquire prior approval before proceeding if you will be requesting a reimbursement.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

The Banks and Riedel firm was billed $2853 for the transcript.
Brett/Stewart did not reimburse anything.
I paid half ($1,426.60) to  Banks and Riedel, preventing interest charges on the full amount.
The  Banks and Riedel firm are still owed $1,426.60 for the remaining outstanding bill balance.

Hi Sarah,

Please pardon my confusion. I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of how the transcript fees were divided. Based on your email below, you paid $1,426.60 and Jeff Banks personally paid $1,426.60. Why did Jeff Banks tender the payment for $1,426.60? Was there a separate agreement for the portion of fees paid by Jeff Banks?

I hope you have a wonderful day,
