The Moscow court that banned the chief executive of Anglo-Russian oil producer TNK-BP Holding (TNBP.RS) from office broke with proper legal procedure, the Moscow prosecutor's office ruled Friday, business daily Vedomosti reported.
The Presnensky court earlier this month found CEO Robert Dudley guilty of systematically breaking labor laws and disqualified him from office for two years.
The Prosecutor's Office, which is senior to the Presnensky court, said the court began an investigation without higher approval and ruled that its decision to disqualify Dudley broke "the conventions of material and procedural law."
