Shell company former chairman Sir Philip Watts today begins a battle with the Financial Services Authority over his claim that the City regulator abused his rights, The Guardian reported.
Ousted over the oil company's reserving problems, Sir Philip is disputing the way in which the City regulator handled his case when it levied a record 17 million pounds fine on Shell.
