Administrative Court rejects CAT unionists' lawsuit against NBTC

The Central Administrative Court Wednesday rejected a lawsuit filed by unionists of the CAT Telecom Plc against the National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission seeking to annul the bidding of 1,800 MHz bandwidth for 4G data services.

The lawsuit was filed on November 10 a day before the bidding was held. The unionists asked the court to issue an injunction to suspend the bidding pending the court’s ruling.
But the court refused to issue an injunction and it decided Wednesday to reject the lawsuit on ground that the unionists were not the affected party. The court said had the bidding affected the rights of the CAT Telecom, the firm should have been the one to file the lawsuit.
