A federal judge in Newark is expected to issue the first significant ruling in a securities fraud complaint against Royal Dutch/Shell Group in what is being regarded as one of the largest cases of its kind.

Shell units shed $495m after huge refinery writedown

ROYAL Dutch Shell has reported a $495 million full-year loss on its Australian refining and marketing business after being hit by higher costs, a higher Australian dollar and a $638m writedown of its Geelong refinery.
