A disclaimer, yesterday,
by Toyin Pinheiro, Principal Partner, to the law firm representing MultiChoice
Nigeria, said that the said reports were a misrepresentation of the judgment of
the court delivered, yesterday.
It said: “It is a misrepresentation of the judgment of the
Court of Appeal Port Harcourt Division delivered on July 13, 2022. The court
only directed the National Broadcasting Commission the 2nd respondent to
constitute a panel within 21 days to look into the complaints of Metro Digital
Limited.
“The Court of Appeal dismissed the reliefs prayed by Metro
Digital Limited seeking to compel MultiChoice Nigeria Limited to sub-licence
some channels to Metro Digital Limited.
“The general public is hereby informed to disregard the
incorrect reportage,” the company said.
Metro Digital Limited had approached a Federal High Court in
Port Harcourt, Rivers State, after MultiChoice turned down its request for the
sublicensing of some of its channels on the ground that it does not own the
rights to the channels and programmes for which the request was made.
Last year, Metro Digital’s case was dismissed by the Federal
High Court on the ground that it was unable to contradict MultiChoice’s claim
that it does not own the rights to the content requested.
