Item 8.01 Other Events

On ~~20th~~November ~~of May 2013~~3, 2014 Empire Energy Corporation International ~~(Empire)~~ issued athe following press release~~, as follows:~~.

New York, ~~May~~Judge ~~20,~~Denies ~~2013~~Smart ~~(ABN~~Win's ~~Newswire)~~Motion -for ~~Empire~~Summary ~~Energy~~Judgment ~~Corporation~~against International (OTCMKTS:EEGC), has announced the engagement of Marston Webb International of New York effective May 16, 2013. The agency, which will assist the company in managing all aspects of its public and investor relations along with market awareness programs, brings to Empire Energy ~~more~~Corporation ~~than 30 years of relevant industry experience~~International.

InNY, ~~making~~NY, ~~the~~October ~~announcement~~30, ~~today~~2014. ~~Malcolm~~Justice ~~Bendall,~~Jeffrey ~~CEO~~K.

~~Malcolm~~Earlier ~~Bendall~~this year, ~~CEO~~Smart Win had moved for summary judgment of ~~Empire~~more ~~Energy~~than ~~commented;~~AUD ~~"It~~$2 ismillion ~~our~~judgment ~~intention~~against toEmpire. ~~keep~~Justice ~~investors~~Oing ~~fully~~determined ~~acquainted~~that ~~with~~the ~~our~~2008 ~~progress~~agreement between Smart Win and Empire did not preclude the ~~excitement~~possibility wethat ~~feel~~Empire's ~~about~~costs in drilling for oil in Tasmania might exceed an AUD$ 5 million funding commitment by Smart Win reflected in the ~~future~~2008 agreement.

According to its own complaint," heSmart ~~said~~Win stopped making advances after it had advanced only approximately AUD $ 3 million of the AUD $5 million.

~~Cautionary~~Justice ~~Note~~Oing ~~Regarding~~also ~~Forward~~determined that Empire's counterclaim for breach of contract against Smart Win stemming from Smart Win's suspension of advances could proceed to trial. In responding to a suggestion by Smart Win's counsel that any damages caused to Empire by Smart Win's suspension of advances was "too speculative," Justice Oing disagreed with that position, specifically reading into the record the testimony of John Garrison, a director of Empire, that, as Mr. Garrison testified, the conduct of Smart Win "stopped the process of drilling this well. It stopped the process before we [Empire] were able to reach a point in the well of proving that it was a productive well. There were hydrocarbons there to recover. [Smart Win] restricted us from raising other funds. It created significant uncertainty around this by having the issue that was detrimental in dealing with other parties. It put uncertainty into other fund-~~Looking~~raising. ~~Statements~~It stopped our progress and left us incurring standby costs from the drillers because they couldn't move ahead. So it increased the costs and shut down the process, and essentially put the company out of business. [Smart Win] added ammunition to the state of opponents trying to take the license from us."

~~Safe~~After ~~Harbor:~~quoting ~~Pursuant~~this todeposition ~~the~~testimony ~~Safe~~by ~~Harbor~~Mr. ~~Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995~~Garrison, ~~and~~Justice ~~within~~Oing ~~the~~ruled ~~meaning~~that ofa ~~Section~~trial ~~27A~~was ofneeded ~~the~~on ~~Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21B of~~ the ~~Exchange~~extent ~~Act of 1934, any statements that express or involve discussions with respect~~ to ~~predictions,~~which ~~expectations,~~Empire ~~beliefs,~~sustained ~~plans,~~damages ~~projections,~~as ~~objectives,~~a ~~goals~~result ~~and assumptions~~ of ~~future~~Smart ~~events~~Win's orpossible ~~performance~~breach ~~are not statements~~ of ~~historical~~the ~~fact~~full ~~and~~funding ~~may be "forward-looking statements~~commitment." ~~Forward-looking~~The ~~statements~~judge ~~are~~commented ~~based~~that ~~on expectations, estimates and projections at~~ the ~~time~~damages ~~the statements are made that involve a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those presently anticipated~~Mr. ~~Forward-looking~~Garrison ~~statements in this release may be~~ identified ~~through~~were ~~the~~not ~~use of words such as expects, will, anticipates, estimates, believes, or statements indicating certain actions such as~~ "~~may,~~speculative" ~~"could,"~~for orpurposes ~~"might" occur. Such statements reflect the current views~~ of ~~Empire~~a ~~Energy~~motion ~~with~~for ~~respect~~summary tojudgment ~~future events~~ and ~~are~~that ~~subject to certain assumptions, including those described in this release.

Under New York law, a motion for summary judgment is a process by which one party seeks to avoid trial by asserting that the facts are so clear that the party moving for summary judgment should win solely on the basis of information contained in affidavits and other documents. When summary judgment is denied, the issues as to which summary judgment were sought are reserved for trial.

Justice Oing also determined that the 2008 agreement between Empire and Smart Win, while it did contain language relating to a joint venture between Empire and Smart Win, also indicated that a further, more detailed agreement was required for a formal joint venture and that such an additional formal document, while prepared in draft, was never executed. Justice Oing noted that a joint venture could arise from an oral agreement, as Mr. Batista and Empire had argued, but that under the relevant original contract documents, although they referred to a "joint venture" between Smart Win and Empire, it was essential that a further document be executed. Smart Win's funding of the project stopped before that further document was finalized.

According to Mr. Batista, the judge's observation that a further written document was required before a formal joint venture was formed should not have an impact on the amount of damages Empire can attempt to prove on Empire's surviving breach of contract claim claim against Smart Win. In other words, Mr. Batista said, the damages for breach of contract, if Empire can establish that Smart Win breached the contract, would be the same as if the joint venture claim had survived.

~~About~~Mr. Batista notes that nothing in today's rulings by Justice Oing can be viewed as a prediction as to whether Smart Win or Empire ~~Energy~~will ~~Corporation~~prevail ~~International~~in whole or in part on their respective claims against each other. Now that the summary judgment motion has been resolved, Mr. Batista stresses that It is only a trial with actual witnesses and documents that will determine the claims and counterclaims.

~~Empire~~The ~~Energy~~next ~~Corporation~~status ~~International~~conference ~~(OTCMKTS:EEGC)~~ is scheduled for December 4, 2014. Its purpose will be to set a trial date. In response to an ~~international~~issue ~~oil~~raised ~~and~~by ~~gas~~Smart ~~exploration~~Win's ~~company~~counsel, ~~focusing~~Justice Oing refused to rule today on ~~developing~~whether, ~~assets~~as Mr. Batista has requested, the trial should be held in ~~one~~front of a jury or, as counsel for Smart Win has urged, the ~~world's~~trial ~~last~~should ~~virgin~~be ~~basins~~held ~~and~~solely toin ~~become~~front aof ~~leading~~the ~~low-cost~~judge ~~finder~~himself as the trier of ~~hydrocarbons~~fact. ~~The~~Justice ~~Company~~Oing issaid ~~currently~~that ~~operating~~issue incould ~~Tasmania's~~be ~~central~~resolved ~~and~~at ~~northern~~a ~~basins.~~later date.
