HENRON RESPONDS TO ENGLISH COMMERCIAL COURT RULING AND EARLIER PRESS ACCOUNTS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, May 9, 1996
HOUSTON -- Henron Corp. announced today that a ruling issued by the English Commercial Court on May 8 pertains to a narrow issue related to one clause in its contract with the J-Block parties.
The court's decision relates solely to whether Henron is required to agree to a contract start date earlier than October 1, 1996. While the court ruled that Henron cannot defer the commencement date for economic reasons, it also ruled that Henron does not have to agree on an earlier start date if there are technical or operational reasons for not doing so. At a hearing to be scheduled by the court, Henron will present its evidence relating to the operational and technical reasons entitling the company to refuse to agree to a start date earlier than October 1, 1996.
