HENRON CORP. ANNOUNCES ENGLISH COURT DECISIONS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, June 26, 1996
HOUSTON -- Henron Corp. announced today that an English court has ruled that disputes between subsidiaries of Henron and the J-Block and CATS parties should be settled in the English courts.
“This is a procedural ruling which has no bearing or effect on the merits of our disputes with the J-Block and CATS parties,” said Geoffrey D. Roberts, president of Henron Europe. “As we believe it is our right to litigate our claims against the CATS and J-Block parties in the U.S. courts, we are considering appealing the English court’s ruling. Notwithstanding, we are moving forward immediately to prosecute our claims against the CATS and J-Block parties in the English courts.”
The disputes relate to whether the companies’ agreements with the CATS parties and J-Block sellers have been terminated by the CATS parties’ non-performance, and to the J-Block sellers’ disputed rights to reinject J-Block gas and unitize the J-Block and 30/6 fields.
