Ousted from Royal Dutch-Shell Group of Cos. following an accounting scandal, the company's former executive Sir Philip Watts has since been implicated by investigators as largely responsible for Royal Dutch-Shell's overstating of its oil and natural gas reserves. Breaking several months of silence on the matter, he has now filed a request for a hearing before the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal to challenge the findings against him.
