Consideration 16

Extract:

The complainant seeks reinstatement. This is resisted by ESO by reference to actions of the complainant following his dismissal, including the publication on a website of an article entitled “A land outside the Jurisdiction of Chilean Laws” in which he was critical of the conduct of ESO and of the actions of the Chilean Government in granting ESO immunity from Chilean laws. In these circumstances, reinstatement will not be ordered.
