"That is that he was wrongfully terminated with respect to the conditions of his employment contract, but may I suggest that it may have been better to terminate his employment within the conditions of his contract."
Are you a lawyer or have legal expertise ?
No matter the reason, like not getting on with some on the board, or some wanting to get rid of him, or the company not having smart/knowledgeable enough lawyers, etc, the fact remains that John Heugh was judged as wrongfully dismissed, and he was paid $1.6million for it.
Apparently the biggest payout for a long time in such cases, so do you think the judge would have made such a large payment lightly ?
"You stated:
"John Heugh communicated with share holders and made them feel part of the team."
I humbly disagree. Yes I did get to speak to him once on the telephone, which I have not tried to do with RC but I gather this would not be easy from other posts on HC. I did have a free and open discussion with RC at the investor briefing I attended in Melbourne."
I spoke to him, John Heugh, a number of times, emailed him, and received emails back, ... unlike Richard Cottee talking to a peasant share holder, ie, I only got to talk to him once at his meet and greet in Melbourne in 2012.
So, ... a fact that IMO, "John Heugh communicated with share holders and made them feel part of the team."
"I can't remember the cost of production of oil available at suprise and its surrounds but I believe it would have been over $30US a barrel."
Oil price 2011/2012 $112 per barrel. .... US I think.
