HIGH COURT TRIAL JUNE/JULY 1999 Case No: DD04199 Court 58, 7th Floor of the Thomas More Building at the Royal Courts of Justice.
John Alfred Donovan v. Shell UK Ltd
A complete transcript of the trial is accessible below.
The trial took place before Mr Justice Laddie who failed to declare two potential conflicts of interest. A connection with the barrister son of the Royal Dutch Shell Group Managing Director, Mark Moody-Stuart and a long friendship with Mr Tony Willoughby who founded an IP firm which had Shell as a client. This information was unknown to the Plaintiff and his father Alfred Donovan, against whom Shell had filed a Counterclaim also being heard by Mr Justice Laddie as part of the same trial.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
