FHC/L/CS/404/2015 AS A CLASS ACTION and granted the interim Orders till the hearing of the Motion on Notice for Injunction on the 16th of April, 2015. He also ordered for the Suit and Interim Injunction to be published in national newspapers.
Both Legal Practitioners are challenging the arbitrary increase in tariffs as well as urging the Honourable Court to order the NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMMISSION – the 2nd Defendant to implement PAY PER VIEW where subscribers choose their programmes and pay as they watch which is being implemented all over the world.
The Case will be heard on April 16, 2015.
