The Court ordered that the parties attend a private mediation to be held on 8 September 2008.
• The obligation to pay the second tranche of security for costs to Murchison ($300,000) and another respondent
Gregory Barnes ($150,000) was suspended until 9 September 2008, the day after the mediation. The second
tranche of security due to another respondent, Phillip Grimaldi (for $280,000) remains due on 7 August 2008.
• The matter was listed for a further directions hearing on 12 September 2008.

This is from MMX announcement 7th August. Clearly Court ordered not MMX request. You beleive otherwise please prove it. Not that it really matters its happening anyway.
But there will be some form of decision today as tomorrow the 2nd tranche is due after mediation.
