Dear Junior Associate I've just finished my meeting with Kevin. He provided us additional information about the events that transpired. Since you are already in this case, I would highly appreciate if you can draft our advice to Kevin, taking into account the additional information he has provided. Here are some notes I managed to take down: Kevin has always understood that the clause on 'Services' is an important term. Although he did not communicate this to Marie on this particular occasion, he pointed out that in a previous equipment hire about three months ago for a wedding event, he told Marie that it is very important that the equipment should be of acceptable quality and fit for the particular purpose disclosed. Marie replied, 'I am your sister. I will never let you down. I guarantee you that my equipment is the best in Australia.' Marie has sent Kevin demand letters, asking him to pay $10000 for the equipment hire, plus the amount for the damaged smoke and fog visual effects. Kevin is willing to pay Marie for the equipment, but he argues that $10000 is way too high, considering what happened. Furthermore, he remembered that Marie has subsequently agreed to a reduction of $1000 for the fees. This was not noted in Annex B of the contract. The only record he has is a Facebook messenger chat (reproduced below): Thanks so much Kevin for supporting my business. This means a lot to me. Please send my love to my niece, Ann. No worries, brother. I can give you less $1000. Will that be okay? No worries, sister. By the way Jane told me that our business is not doing well these days. She told me that we could be in the red. Can you give me a discount? Yes. Thank you, Marie. Looking forward to seeing you this weekend with Mum.

Kevin also learned that Jason Blake has been suffering from a rare bone disease
which makes his bones prone to fractures. He feels sorry for Jason, but he is
wondering if this finding can somehow affect your legal analysis.
Kevin also learned that Jason Blake has tweeted about the event:
The Ultimate Jason Blake @JasonBlake - March 22, 2023
The equipment you used was defective! Look at what you've done! If
you don't want harm, stay away from OzEvents!' #OzEvents #Boycott

I would highly appreciate if you can look further into these additional pieces of information
and provide me your analysis at the soonest. Again, I am only interested in the legal issues,
including possible defences and remedies, arising from common law.
Many thanks,
