patience
i'd be quite happy if they just kept us updated on the production and cash figures for next 1-2 months, and poo kept nudging up
there are currently just the 2 new who have to trawl through all the records and email trails of the ex BoDs can of worms just to figure out what can be relied upon and what can't. add to that the minutia of running a company, grilling the CEO & FO with the electrodes, and thinking time. there's only so much 2 guys can process and do each 24 hrs
'if in doubt, do nowt' till they get a handle on the truth would be my yardstick. it's always a truism that people need time, and often abused. but in this situation it's likely spot on

senseman is a disciple of the ernest hemingway (the old man and the sea) and alexander solzhenitsyn (a day in the life of ivan denisovich) school of writing - keep it short and sweet, to the point and don't abuse language by wasting words...)
it wouldn't be worth the bad publicity anyone suing me for expressing a personal opinion on a forum

My thoughts exactly
It may be that the technical review was kosher, and hence also ERCE CPR
But until new eyes have looked at the original data and reported, I am not prepared to believe either
The attempted scam evidenced that nothing produced by the BoD can be relied upon
I am absolutely certain that Mr Zacaroli's 30 page judgement was carefully constructed to negate the risk of successful appeal. I would place a fair bet that he sat in Chambers thinking, 'I wish I could write as judgement "Hur BoD & bondholders are deviant thieves. The Plan is a scam. I dismiss the Plan. Costs awarded to Crystal Amber", and have the weekend off instead of having to write 30 pages of unemotive pap which leaves no scope for successful appeal.'

I am no oily. But I know a man who is.
You are correct - a pain in the ass to do, but reversable
If P&A was premature, and with OGA approval is reversed for tieback to the AM, that will be another what, $15-$20 mill all in unnecessarily squandered cash?
I would place a fair bet that CA considered submitting an emergency application to Justice Zacaroli for a stay order on the P&A. But decided against for purely tactical reasons, to keep already complicated matters as simple as possible for the judge, to enable him to reach the right decision on the main prize with as little clutter as possible.
I would be surprised if the new BoD did not consider speaking with the OGA, & unplugging

you despise slitty as much as i, so can't be all bad...)
we had handbags at dawn last evening
best forgotten
apology for irritation

shx
thank you for confirming to the forum that you are vermin
now crawl back to your hole in the ground

shx
apology
irritation, over punchy
know symbolics matter and shape history

with respect, wrong. my tree needs no visiting, behave....)
your post indicates bringing BoD personally to book has little value cos little in the grand scheme
the logical consequence is that not worth the effort - let them escape
It is HUGE if a BoD are personally held financially liable - shocks the whole system, a dramatic wake up call!!
the HURR court decision (perfect reasoning) will be relied upon and cited by judges for years to come.
the essential being - seizing all director assets destroys director and scares all other directors to hell - the quantum in the vast scheme of things is irrelevant!!
ps. if my tree needed visiting, would be a bloody sight more obvious. there is emotional irritation, and there is anger - cosmic difference

aduk
tell the interim chairman he can borrow my electrodes. and the rest of my truth and honesty kit!! *ffing b*stards

shx
what is your point?

branson
agree hasiba's sentiments completely. i may still lose serious wonga here, but am at least still in the game
you will have sensed from my posts i have a visceral hatred of corruption, especially dressed in smart suits
twenty yeas ago a crooked lawyer and counsel cost me £100K in cold blood, hard earned 10 years work and savings, at the sharp end, no silver spoon. Cost me woman i loved, nearly my home, nearly a breakdown. Took me 10 years to recover financially, will never do emotionally, destroyed my faith in human nature. Still affects me. If I could get away with it, I'd kill both the b*stards in cold blood and celebrate with a triple whisky in my local, smiling broadly. Some people are a waste of oxygen, knowingly destroy people's lives, and lose the right to live.
That is why I can now smell sh*t on the moon. If it happened again, I know how to eviscerate the b*stards - with time to spare to laugh and play with myself at the same time. I didn't then.
If you are a decent guy - learn from HUR experience - it's all one can do - the world ain't fair. Resist the temptation to think all people bad - they are not. I managed to do that - I remain the world's greatest optimist - but can now smell sh*t on the moon and know how to deal with it. Don't kick the cat, argue with wifey, shout at kiddies - it ain't their fault. Find a tree in the garden or the woods - name it 'the shrieking tree'. When you feel the rage building up inside, go visit the tree, take a cigar to smoke, a whisky flask to drink, and scream at the tree or kick it till the anger subsides. You will feel better for it. And always remember - you did nothing wrong

except that buying them all back at 1 - 1.2 p reduces average to 19p, which HUR may recover to with fair wind. or even to 10p it's 50% money back. had i sold at 2.4ish I would have viewed it a fair punt back in again at 1 -1.2p
i took the view all along that something smelt and was all manipulation and CA wouldnt be taken for fools. so kept nerve
but the fundamental is that no SH should be placed in stick or twist situation by crooked BoD - one didn't buy into a poker game. SP went down in a straight line with zero options save to stick or twist, sell or keep. and Plan being announced immediately sank the SH to 1 ish. that is why my view holds that no member of BoD should ever work again in industry and deserve not only prison time, but all personal assets seized - proceeds to be returned to HUR coffers

branson
what price sold at?
why didn't buy back shedloads at 1p ish as cover?

Nice lady a little miffed when I asked if the local shops had run out of valium and whisky yet - senseman couldn't resist.
Agree with Retired - should write to RB, Haggis. Will def be noted

That is what I was told - 'not back for 2 weeks, on holiday'. Take your pick if holiday or gardening leave. If I was communications guy would consider myself negligent to take leave at such a time. Receptionist from voice tone clearly not a happy bunny

Haggis
Would you believe it - he's on holiday for 2 weeks! Rang Hurr HQ 2 days ago before resignations for a little ferret around. Asked to speak with him. Was clearly a sombre office

branson
sympathise.
people worst hit are those with high averages who sold at lower than today's price when restructuring Plan canaries were in full flow saying it was a racing cert to be rubber stamped.
those with higher averages than current SP who haven't sold are at least still alive in the game with fighting change of some recovery.
completely agree re Corbett. I hope truth emerges - important

one imagines would be new BoD priority
anyone any idea when june production figures likely announced?

I get Times delivered - surprisingly Andrew Thornton article buried on p37 away from main article, and with smaller less impact headline - which is a shame as less visible. (Don't know if same online). Likely editor's choice maybe with inhouse legal advice as certainly pulls no punches and effectively calls it out as being a crooked scam. My guess is had article lined up before hearing but held back till judgement so could express more forcefully. A 10 year old wouldn't think such a deal was kosher

Re $17 million, completely agree re in spending it did they breach fiduciary duty - I think they did. Being 'terrified' is no defence and can't buy it - tough professionals paid megabucks not to be intimidated - are they schoolchildren

Before he took the job Maris should have done own due diligence. If he did and they sprung it on him as fait accompli when he ass was in the leather chair, he resigns and gets many months severance/compensation as they breached terms of contract. The bottom line is with that position and salary comes immutable and inescapable ethical and professional responsibilities - one simply cannot take mega bucks for nothing

If anyone doubts how skilled rogue foreign governments are at buying or stealing, using subterfuge, UK companies, I suggest they spend c £9 on Ebay buying new copy of - 'Putin's People - How the KGB Took Back Russia And Then Took On The West' by Catherine Belton. Stupendous, gripping read - won huge awards including Sunday Times Bestseller Award

Beasty
I hope conspiracy (or similar) evidence IS found - as this usable lever against BHs. If it is there, Chaffe and Maris will sing like canaries when questioned our 2 new guys, just to save their necks
