BP Atlantis $256 Billion Whistle-Blower Case Dismissed The judge said today that Abbott wasn’t eligible to sue because he lacked firsthand knowledge that hundreds of Atlantis engineering drawings were missing approval stamps by certified engineers. After internal e-mails and working documents raised his suspicions, Abbott obtained papers giving details of the alleged lapses through Freedom of Information Act requests. Hughes said that wasn’t enough to overcome legal barriers to whistle-blower lawsuits. “Precise and verifiable facts make you an original source, not unfounded suspicions,” Hughes said. “Abbott has only seen working papers that BP created to help it track the paperwork errors that it needed to fix.” http://bloom.bg/1B9RjVs Source: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-08-22/bp-atlantis-256-billion-whistle-blower-case-dismissed.html See if people are clicking on this link: http://bloom.bg/1B9RjVs+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar To view the list archives go to: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK To unsubscribe from this list, send an email to [log in to unmask] with the words UNSUBSCRIBE RECORDS-MANAGEMENT-UK For any technical queries re JISC please email [log in to unmask] For any content based queries, please email [log in to unmask]
