The court decided to disqualify the head of TNK-BP Robert Dudley for 2 years

On August 14, the Presnensky District Court of Moscow issued a decision on the declination of the Chairman of the Board of TNK-VR Management OJSC Robert Dudley in connection with the failure to fulfill the next order of the state-owned inspectorate, a source familiar with the court’s decision told the oil information (Ani).

Less than a week ago - August 8 - Robert Dudley was already held by the court liable for non -fulfillment of another order of the state -owned inspection, but then the court limited himself only to a fine, Interfax reports.

Earlier, both Dudley itself and the company he headed have already been repeatedly brought to the state council to administrative responsibility for violations of labor legislation. This time, considering that the violations are systematic and incessant in nature, and the insignificant sizes of fines provided for by Russian legislation do not reach their goal in relation to a highly paid manager, the court applied a more effective measure to the violator, forbidding him to occupy leadership positions within two years, Ani's interlocutor noted.

The representative of TNK -BP said Ani: "We can confirm that it was decided to disqualify Robert Dudley. We have 10 days to appeal this decision. Naturally, the company will take advantage of this opportunity - there will be appeals to the courts of all instances."

“It is important that while the court does not make a final decision, today's decision on disqualification, does not enter into force. Therefore, at the moment, Mr. Dudley continues to fulfill his duties without any restrictions,” he said.
