PGS ASA NEEDS TO TAKE SDK TO COURT IN ENGLAND – PER CONTRACT -TO PROTECT COMPANY REPUTATION AND SHAREHOLDER VALUE. NOT DOING SO IS A BREACH OF CONTRACT AND FIDUCIARY DUTY AND PERVERTS THE COURSE OF JUSTICE.
The UK ActionFraud / Serious Fraud Office / police needs to demand that PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law STOP perverting the course of justice and take action on their contracts that are intended to protect stakeholders / investors.
PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law have pretended that the formed 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract is a legal instrument. There is NO EVIDENCE that the termination settlement contract is a legal instrument. The 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract is illegal and was fraudulently used to silence legally protected public disclosure, per the UK Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.
For several months, John Francas, on behalf of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, threatened US citizen victim of crimes and whistleblower with criminal defamation claims in Thailand through e-mails and claims delivered by mail to my Thai relatives citing Thailand laws? Thailand law firm Duensing – Kippen conspired with PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law to silence legally protected disclosure.
This extortion / blackmail is more evidence that the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract is illegal / useless. Following months of threatening action on the illegal compromise agreements SDK was forced to sign under threat of criminal prosecution and imprisonment in Thailand for false criminal defamation claims, PGS ASA again took no action and simply stopped their threats once it was made clear that I knew their actions were illegal.
PGS Exploration (UK) Limited is an English company governed by the laws of England. There is no criminal defamation under English law. Further, the employment contract which defined our relationship has non-disparagement clauses prohibiting the publication of content that damages PGS or any of its stakeholders. The problem is that PGS steals shareholder resources to finance illegal non-disclosure agreements to silence whistleblowers and protect the criminal dirt-bags who direct and manage Norway based PGS ASA and its global subsidiaries. John Francas is paid to blackmail and silence the truth. This is called extortion and it’s a crime … in England, US, Thailand, and Norway.
This conspiracy to defraud and defame a foreign worker whistleblower through the use of an illegal termination settlement contract supported by uttered forged records which were shared globally was first reported to UK ActionFraud 24 August 2015! ActionFraud has demonstrated complete incompetence in helping victims of organized crime.
ActionFraud has allowed PGS ASA company officers to defraud the public and breach their fiduciary duties through their NOT TAKING ACTION on the terms of their contracts. Such action would reveal the fraud and forged records created to support the multiple crimes committed. PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau Law have been misrepresenting (fraud) the legality of the 5 December 2013 termination settlement contract for several years and bribed employees to obstruct justice and harass the victim.
PGS ASA NEEDS TO TAKE SDK TO COURT IN ENGLAND
ACTIONFRAUD NEEDS TO WAKE-UP AND TAKE ACTION AND DEMAND THAT PGS ASA, WATSON FARLEY & WILLIAMS, and LANDAU LAW HONOR THEIR CONTRACTS!
Perverting the course of justice is an offence committed when a person prevents justice from being served on him/herself or on another party. In England and Wales, perverting the course of justice is a common law offence, carrying a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Perverting the course of justice can be any of three acts:
Fabricating or disposing of evidence
Intimidating or threatening a witness or juror
Intimidating or threatening a judge
Criminal acts also include:
conspiring with another to pervert the course of justice, and
Confidence fraud is the reliance on another’s discretion and/or a breach in a relationship of trust resulting in financial loss. It includes a knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment.

Trustpilot protects companies engaged in illegal business practices, such asLandau Law, Saint Clare House, 30-33 Minories, London EC3N 1DD, United Kingdom. This is a disservice to consumers and opens Trustpilot up to civil and criminal liability. Sue me Trustpilot, if you do not believe me! The last thing that Philip Landau wants is to see is justice rendered from inside a court room!
Trustpilot stated that the SDK review(s) could not be verified and this was the reason for removal. Trustpilot is lying. All content presented within the review can be verified. Trustpilot is allowing corrupt Landau Law to defraud potential clients and defame a former client explicitly to bypass litigation which would expose Landau Law crimes. The objective of settlement contracts is to avoid court litigation. This is especially the objective of fraudulent settlement contracts which Landau Law “advises” to protect corrupt abusers of whistleblowers.
Trustpilot has not verified Landau Laws flagging of the review as authentic and true, but instead becomes a co-conspirator in defrauding potential clients by allowing Landau Law to propagate misinformation. Landau Law is shielded from making definitive statements which could be supported or refuted with evidence in a court of law. Critical reviews should not be removed until there is thorough due diligence. Trustpilot essentially is calling critics of businesses liars without proof, which is defamation.
Landau Law, Watson Farley & Williams and PGS ASA do not use the illegal settlement contract which they formed as is their legal and contractual duty. Instead, Landau Law, Watson Farley & Williams and PGS ASA use social media censorship to silence accusations and depublish evidence of their many crimes against SDK and the wider upstream oil and gas industry. PGS ASA has defamed SDK on LinkedIn, Twitter, and now Trustpilot through the propagating and continued processing of defamatory forged instruments as SDK personal data. Trustpilot, Twitter, and LinkedIn irresponsibly aid and abet corruption through allowing corrupt organizations to bypass legal due process and allow social media to adjudicate on matters that they have no business or direct knowledge on. It’s disgusting!
Every question that marine seismic company PGS ASA and their counsel, Watson Farley & Williams refuses to answer should be answered by Tier 2 visa sponsored USA citizen SDKs legal advisors Philip Landau (Landau Law, London) and Holly Hobson (BDBF, London). But, Landau Law and BDBF are part of the Criminal Conspiracy to protect criminal abusers and defame (blacklist) and defraud victim SDK.
The edifice of the criminal conspiracy and confidence fraud, of which Landau and Hobson were principal double-agents, was to assist PGS ASA in denying their USA citizen employee, SDK, his contractual and legal rights under English law. Landau and Hobson provided their client SDK with illegal advice and ignored SDK documented claims of PGS ASA illegal harassment, discrimination, as well as duty of care and health and safety law violations. SDKs submitted 20 September 2013 workplace grievance was legally protected public disclosure, or whistleblowing.
SDK was employed by PGS ASA subsidiary PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Weybridge, Surrey, England, KT13 0NY, under contract governed by the laws of England. SDK first animated on his legal and contractual right to submit a workplace grievance following an event orchestrated by the Human Resources Manager, David Nicholson, PGS Marine Contract Africa Regional President, Simon Cather, and Marine Contract Sales Manager, Edward von Abendorff, who were all employed in England and thus were all bound by the provisions and procedures defined within the PGS UK Personnel Handbook.
Nicholson hosted this colloquially called “Ambush Meeting” which SDK believed was not compliant to the policies defined within the PGS UK Personnel Handbook. The Ambush Meeting is a universal tactic used by workplace bullies to expel targets so that the perpetrators – bullies – are not held accountable for their actions. The PGS UK Personnel Handbook states that such behavior will not be tolerated and perpetrators could be subject to summary dismissal from employment. PGS ASA violates their published policy and the law, so far without consequence.
PGS ASA, Watson Farley & Williams and Landau Law have Engaged in Multiple Criminal Acts Against USA Citizens under their Duty of Care to Escape Responsibility for an Unsafe and Illegal Work Environment.
PGS ASA Paid Bribes to Lawyers, Human Resources Professionals, and Pertinent Employee’s who participated in the voilent workplace harassment and discrimination to escape the English Justice system and send their victim to the US with false/illegal personnel records intended to illegally professionally blacklist a whistleblower from future employment in the industry.
Unfortunately and remarkably, the geophysics profession has become debased by un-professionals who benefit from breaching their employment contracts through embracing unethical business practices which violate policy, Core Values, and the Code of Conduct in order to protect criminals presiding over unsafe and violent workplace conditions. “Professional” organizations such as the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) have also placed fees for membership and convention booths above the integrity and future of the profession and professionals, which is their fundamental purpose.
In the UK employees must receive legal advise for termination settlement contracts to be valid. In the UK, termination settlement contracts that restrict an employee’s right to whistleblow are illegal – unenforceable. SDK paid Landau Zeffertt & Weir Solitors [principal Philip Landau, now with Landau Law] to advise on the grievance procedure which SDK had initiated with his employer, PGS Exploration (UK) Limited, 4 The Heights, Weybridge, England, KT13 0NY. The grievance met the standard of legally protected disclosure, or whistleblowing.
Landau recommended an illegal settlement contract. In other words, SDK never received LEGAL advise, but was instead targeted in a confidence fraud by Landau and associate employment solicitor, Holly Hobson (formally Rushton). SDK communications with Landau and Hobson show that they ignored the grievance documents contents and instead assisted PGS Exploration (UK) Limited defrauding and professional blacklisting through uttering defamatory forged records to support a performance based termination settlement contract.
Watson Farley & Williams had also advised PGS Exploration (UK) Limited and SDK through the Tier 2 work permit application process. This application process was successful and PGS Exploration (UK) Limited moved SDK and his USA-Thai citizen family members from Malaysia to England. The Tier 2 visa application process was successfully repeated in July 2013 when PGS Exploration (UK) Limited renewed their sponsorship of SDK and his dependent family members so all could legally remain in England as a family.
The grievance document delivered to PGS ASA management in Norway claimed violations in the UK Health and Safety Act 1974 and the UK Equality Act 2010. The grievance documented egregious violations in the PGS ASA Code of Conduct and Core Values. The grievance document cited defamatory and unsubstantiated personnel file records that did not adhere to the documented performance management system PGS claimed to follow. SDK was being bullied and harassed in the workplace and he wanted the abuse to stop. The distressing workplace conditions were impacting the health and well-being of he and his family who were owed a duty of care.
The grievance documented specifically accused three individual perpetrators: SDKs immediate supervisor, Edward von Abendorff, his superior, Simon Cather, and the Human Resources Manager, David Nicholson, of illegal practices and breaches in policy. In spite of this, Nicholson continued to be allowed to threaten and obstruct proceeding through the legal grievance process. Nicholsonwas allowed to proffer an illegal termination settlement contract prior to proceeding to the next step in the documented grievance procedure.
Following Nicholson’s illegal proffering of the termination settlement contract obstructing SDKs legal and contractual right to proceed through the grievance process, SDK contacted Philip Landau, whom he discovered through a published article. SDK did not accept the termination settlement contract at first offer and attended the grievance hearing chaired by Per Arild Reksnes (Cather’s superior) and Terje Bjolseth (Nicholson’s superior). SDKs co-worker and resident of England agreed to be SDKs witness during the proceeding. Landau was made aware of all of these facts.
Employees of PGS Exploration (UK) Limited all had to read and sign confirmation of understanding the PGS UK Personnel Handbook which, among other things, documented the grievance procedure. However, John Barnard witnessed these procedures not being followed and participated in the confidence fraud instead, along with Landau and Hobson (Rushton). SDK is a USA citizen and PGS intentionally obstructed his right to have his legitimate grievances addressed.PGS bribed global legal firms Watson Farley & Williams and LZW Solicitors along with PGS SDK co-workers and HR personnel to cooperate in the illegal termination of a foreign worker whistleblower.
PGS Exploration (UK) Limited employed global legal firm Watson Farley & Williams to negotiate the illegal termination settlement contract. Watson Farley & Williams Solicitor Rhodri Thomas participated in the gaslighting and confidence fraud of USA citizen, SDK whom PGS Exploration (UK) Limited sponsored on a Tier 2 visa, along with his dependent family members who were allowed to legally live in England, as well. The gaslighting forced false choices. SDK had to plan his move to the USA rather than resolve the harassment and discrimination issues brought-up within the SDK delivered grievance.
Landau and Hobson allowed PGS human resources to communicate from England to the US, in violation of Data Protection Principles about the terms of the illegal termination settlement contract before it was signed. SDK had to plan his move with his family from Weybridge to Houston to the point that it would have been financially and logistically irreversible. Further, the only thing keeping SDK in England was the PGS sponsored job. Why would anyone want to stay where they were being harassed and discriminated against? The financial liability for discrimination and harassment claims are unbounded, unlike an illegal termination settlement contract based on poor performance (supported by forged false records).
PGS was sponsoring US citizen SDK on a Tier 2 Special Occupation List visa at the time. PGS and Watson Farley & Williams used one set of data for the visa application process and another for the termination settlement contract, thus defrauding UK Border Agency, USA Immigration and Thai Immigrationand misusing personal data/passports.The objective of the fraudsters was to limit SDKs choices and force him to accept an option that would not allow him legal due process within the English system of justice. Two days before signing the illegal instrument Landau “advised” on, SDK considered rejecting the settlement agreement and moving forward to tribunal. However, PGS has never issued a legally required response to the grievance. Yet, such a forged response exists with SDKs PGS personnel file?
The confidence fraud was the epitome of discrimination where PGS did not consider USA citizenship legally on the one hand, but could have never succeeded in their fraud without their victim being a foreignor who would be forced to leave the England and then be unable to get justice. PGS bribed lawyers to obstruct legal due process.
PGS, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau-Hobson ignored health and safety laws and all contributed to endangering the well-being of SDK and his family. The fraudsters ignored the many claims of unsafe and unhealthy work conditionsmade within the grievance document. The PGS, Watson Farley & Williams, and Landau-Hobsonfraud also withheld fromconsideration an occupational health nurse report which substantiated the claims made within the grievance. Breaching health and safety regulations is also a criminal offence. Companies have a common law duty to ensure the working environment is safe for employees. Employers who do not provide such a work environment can face consequences, including fines or prison sentences.
