A team of lawyers led by Oluyinka Oyeniji has told a court in Lagos that Digital Satellite Television, (DStv) a division
of MultiChoice Group, has disobeyed its earlier order restraining price
increase on its services, ITRealms reports.
Counsel in the class
action suit brought against DStv informed the court that the satellite
television service provider has gone ahead to give effect to its price increase
contrary to the order of the court.
ITRealms recalls
that Justice Chukwujekwu Aneke of the Federal High Court sitting in Lagos had
on April 2, 2015 made orders restraining DStv from giving effect or enforcing
its planned increase in cost of the different classes of viewing or programmes
pending the determination of the Motion on Notice for Interlocutory Injunction,
which was adjourned till April 16, 2016.
When the matter came up
on Thursday, ITRealms gathered,
the counsel told the court that DStv had breached the order by going ahead to
enforce the price increase.
Oyeniji whose team of
lawyers include Osasuyi Adebayo, Mufutau Olajobi, Yemi Salman and Fola Oluwole
for the applicants, while DStv was represented by Moyo Onigbanjo (SAN) and M.K.
Adesina among other lawyers.
He informed the court of
his application for interlocutory injunction, stressing that DSTV had disobeyed
the orders of the court and that relevant applications for contempt proceedings
had been filed.
ITRealms was however
informed that the court adjourned the matter till May 5, 2015 for the argument
of the preliminary objection.
