You will recall the white worms, dying trees and plants in my garden callously dismissed by you at the time as "your horticultural problems" those "problems" subsequently ruined the lives of my family.

Shell has been forced to pay out $9.2m (pounds 5m) in legal fees and make changes to its corporate governance structure as part of a settlement with disgruntled shareholders.
The case pending in New York and New Jersey courts followed the January 2004 statement from Shell that it had overstated its oil and gas reserves in filings with the US regulator, the securities and exchange commission.

ROYAL Dutch Shell has agreed to pay more than $90m to settle a law suit issued by its own employees who lost retirement savings value when the firm’s share price sank last year.
The Anglo-Dutch oil giant was hit with a class action law suit from employees when their savings plans lost value because Shell’s share price tumbled during the reserves scandal last year.
The world’s third largest oil company revealed it had exaggerated the volume of oil and gas resources booked as proven for years last year and slashed proved reserves by almost a third.

Royal Dutch/Shell, the Anglo-Dutch energy group, yesterday agreed to pay $90m (£51m) damages to settle claims by US employees who say their savings plan was hurt by the company’s admission last year that it had overstated its oil reserves. If the court agrees, Shell will also pay $1m in legal expenses to the plaintiffs.
Beat Hess, Shell’s legal director, said: “Shell believes that this is a good settlement for plan participants and for the companies. We are hopeful that the court will approve the settlement, which represents an important step toward putting litigation relating to the reserves recategorisations behind us.” Thomas Catan

Shell looks set to retain Slaughter and May as its primary legal adviser in the oil giant’s global legal panel review.
The FTSE 100 oil giant has already compiled a shortlist of around 20 advisers following internal discussions and will hold an informal tender process with firms over the coming weeks, with cost playing a major factor. The review started in April and is due to conclude at the end of September.
Shell, which has an annual legal budget of more than $100m (£54m), plans to cut the number of UK firms it uses for international work to around five with the intention of building closer links with a smaller number of firms.
