Part 2: Further functions of the OGA relating to offshore petroleum Chapter 2: Disputes Section 25: Power of the OGA to require attendance at meetings
Section 25 enables the OGA to require a relevant party to send a representative with the necessary knowledge and expertise of a dispute to a meeting with the OGA for the purposes of assisting the OGA in:
deciding whether to reject, adjourn or accept a dispute;
deciding whether to consider a dispute on its own initiative; or
considering a dispute and making a recommendation.
	Where attendance at a meeting is required the OGA must give reasonable notice of the meeting. Any failure to comply with a requirement to attend a meeting by a relevant party is sanctionable in accordance with the provisions set out in Chapter 5. The OGA is not precluded from requesting the attendance at a meeting of non-relevant parties but these parties cannot be sanctioned for failure to comply with such a request.
