With the recent uncertainty given by the government, we believe it is of the utmost importance that energy companies are aware of the apparent inconstituionality of the law that prohibits injunctions against CNH and CRE's acts.

Victor Kubli currently leads the Law Office of Victor Kubli in Germantown, Maryland, as owner and attorney. Victor Kubli has experience in a wide variety of litigator situations, ranging from patent infringement to False Claims Act cases.
This presentation aims to keep the student abreast with the current issues on Ethical Behavior concerning public servants, as a result, they will appreciate laws and implemented techniques by the government in reducing and or eliminating corrupt practices.
By providing students with relevant topics on issues on Ethical behavior particularly graft & corruption practices in government, I am expecting that they will be more willing to enjoin government in providing quality services to the people whom they served.

Chapter Eighteen The Law of Administrative AgenciesIntroduction to Administrative Law and Administrative AgenciesAdministrative Law
For the purposes of this text, administrative law is defined broadly as any rule (statute or regulation) that affects, directly or indirectly, an administrative agency. These rules may be procedural or substantive, and they may come from the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government or from the agencies themselves. Such rules may be promulgated at the federal, state, or local levels. A procedural rule generally has an impact on the internal processes by which the agencies function or prescribes methods of enforcing rights. For example, under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), a federal administrative agency must give adequate notice to all parties involved in an agency hearing. A substantive rule defines the rights of parties. An example is an act of Congress that forbids the FTC from applying the antitrust laws to all the Coca-Cola bottlers in the United States. In this instance, the rights and regulations of both the FTC and the Coca-Cola bottlers were defined by Congress.

As a future business leader, you will certainly encounter many governmental regulations. Congress created administrative agencies, in part, because it could not hope to address the enormous variety and number of concerns that are now covered by administrative agencies. Although you will not learn about every administrative agency in this chapter, you can jump-start your thinking about administrative agencies by answering these critical thinking questions.
1. Your roommate states that people do not have to follow the regulations passed by administrative agencies because these regulations are not laws. She argues that only Congress can make laws. Which critical thinking question could be applied to settle this disagreement?
Clue: Do you and your roommate agree on the meaning of the words she is using?
2. Some individuals may argue that the creation of regulations by administrative agencies promotes unfair restrictions on business. What ethical norm seems to be behind this thought?
Clue: If you want fewer restrictions from the government, what ethical norm is influencing your thought? What ethical norm seems to conflict with the wish for fewer governmental regulations?

We are pleased to share with you our monthly one pager where we follow-up on our February publication where we shared our reasons to believe that farm-outs tenders would be relaunching. In these regards, this topic has gotten the attention of the national energy policy news once again and so we've prepared suggestions on what we think the industry could concentrate its efforts to help the government take the decision of farming out.

Reinventing the wheel, the false debate of public vs private investmentMaría Serna
Even though there are concerns regarding the relationship between the Mexican oil and gas industry and AMLO’s government, we have important reasons to believe that sooner than later, the new government will realize the necessity of private sector participation in upstream activities just as the two former administrations did during the last 12 years.
Economic balance in oil and gas contractsMaría Serna
Mexican new government has emphasized its concerns regarding the government take in the awarded oil contracts. It is not clear if these worries will lead to an audit or some type of “adjustment” for the government take via legislation. In these times, understanding the risks and protection mechanisms available is of paramount importance to oil companies.
Pemex has failed in using the new mechanisms of the Reform. With only three farmouts awarded and a challenging environment for complying with its investment commitments, it is vital that the new administration focuses in increasing and improving farm-outs that allow PEMEX to multiply its technical, financial and execution capabilities.
In this pager, our CEO Marco Cota and María Serna address PEMEX's performance up to date.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

Synopsis On Annual General Meeting/Extra Ordinary General Meeting With Ordinary And Special Businesses And Ordinary And Special Resolutions with Companies (Postal Ballot) Regulations, 2018
Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

Injunctionvsenergyregulators’acts
1.- LEGAL PROHIBITION FOR INJUNCTION
Accordingtoarticle27thoftheLawoftheCoordinatedRegulatoryAgenciesinEnergyMatters(Leydelos
Órganos Reguladores Coordinados en Materia Energética, “LORCME”), the National Hydrocarbons
Commission (“CNH”) and the Energy Regulatory Commission (“CRE”)’s acts can only be challenged by
means of an amparo indirecto with no temporary injunction (suspensión) of the act.1
Nevertheless, in some cases, energy companies might need to get an injunction against a regulator’s act,
for example:
CNH’s approval to suspend the activities contemplated in Exploration and Development Plans,
ARES and drilling permits.
» What if continuing the activities jeopardize production, safety, environment, a human right, . . . ?
2.-LORCME’S RESTRICTION CONSTITUTIONALITY
Webelievethatitcanbearguedthattherestrictionofinjunctionisunconstitutionalonthefollowinggrounds:
· First, the Mexican Constitution establishes that any government act that is contested by means of an
amparo may be injuncted in the terms established in the reglementary law, which is the Amparo Law
(not LORCME).
· On its part, the Amparo Law establishes the exceptions for granting an injunction but does not mention
anywhere acts from the energy regulators. In the exceptions it enlists, there is one case that may be
applicable for upstream projects: in case the State is prevented from using, exploiting assets of direct
domain.Inourcase,thatwouldbethehydrocarbonsinthesubsoil(art.129,f.XIII).BUTeveninthatcase,
the same Amparo Law establishes that the injunction may be granted if the denial of it causes a greater
harm to the public interest.
· In the Mexican legal system, there are other cases of acts of authorities that can only be contested by
means of an amparo indirecto with no injunction, which are the Federal Economic Competition
Commission(“COFECE”)andtheFederalTelecommunicationsInstitute(“IFT”).However,wefindthat
this restriction is established in the same Mexican Constitution and then, as mandated by the Constitu-
tion, established in the Amparo Law.

ON INJUNCTIONS:
· The writ of amparo is a Mexican legal
figure which allows any person to get
relief from a law or an authority’s act that
affects its rights. During the process, an
injunction of the contested act may be
requested.
· LORCME’s restriction of injunction
beforehand may have economic,
technical, social, environmental and
human rights implications.
· In addition to the Mexican legal
framework, energy companies are also
subject to their own standards and codes
of conduct that may restrain them for
going along with the regulator’s decision.
Getting an injunction may avoid penalties
and contractual breaches.
· There are no legal precedents yet, most
likely because these laws are fairly
recent. So, challenging the
constitutionality of LORCME will be
something new for both, the energy
regulators and the District Judge, but it is
worth trying.
· Don’t be afraid to request an
injunction! If successful, this will be
settling precedents for the country and
the industry!

As the prohibition for injunction is not included in the Amparo Law, it can be
argued then that this restriction established in LORCME is unconstitutional and
therefore, request for the injunction along with the challenged act.
1 Except for the imposition of fines which may be collected once the amparo is resolved.
