We are pleased to announce the release of the Global Oil & Gas Survey: Response to the Oil Price Crisis.

This multijurisdictional survey current to Q4 2020 summarizes the response of 24 key oil producing jurisdictions to the 2020 oil price crisis and the drop in demand resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. For each of these jurisdictions our Baker McKenzie oil & gas experts have outlined the government’s response to the crisis, the ensuing sector vulnerabilities, as well as certain critical issues to watch out for — including the implications for the energy transition for each country. An interactive map enables clients to easily access jurisdictions of particular interest.

The framework provides that CbC Reports are automatically exchanged where the relevant jurisdictions execute bilateral competent authority arrangements(CAAs).

An employee who was dismissed as a result of having been charged with a criminal offence was unfairly dismissed. The employer had invited him to attend a disciplinary hearing on a matter of misconduct, but was unable to decide whether the employee had committed the offence. Finding that they were unable to rule out the possibility that he had, the employer then dismissed him for a different reason –  the risk of reputational damage if it became known that it had continued to employ him. The dismissal was both procedurally and substantively unfair.
