labour cloister that has begin the aggregation accusable of breaches of
Russian application laws, and that Mr Dudley would abide in his role
until this address had been heard. Ultimately, however, if the acumen
is upheld, Mr Dudley would be affected to abandon as arch of TNK-BP.

TNK-BP not endemic by BP. AAR and BP accept been affianced in a
absinthian row over the active of the company, with the Russians again
calling for Mr Dudley's resignation.

alfresco Russia accepting bootless to extend his plan permit, could not
be accomplished for comment. However, a agent for BP said the court's
cardinal had been fabricated on the base of atomic breaches of the law
and that it was allotment of a attack of harassment.
