ACTION FILED
A1+
[08:02 pm] 21 January, 2009
On January 19 the Cassation Court (CC) has upheld a December 19, 2008,
claim of Meltex Ltd. against February 27 and April 23 decisions of
the CC Chamber on Civil and Economic Cases. The decision was made on
the basis of new matters revealed after the decision of the European
Court of the Human Rights regarding A1+ Company. Remind that Meltex
had requested the CC to recognise the violation of the right of
dissemination of information stipulated in Article 10 of the European
Convention on Human Rights. Naturally enough, the Court had also been
requested to make the National Commission on Television and Radio
announce tenders for frequencies. Thus, Meltex had requested the Court
of Cassation to nullify the tenders for seven frequencies. Note that
A1+ had been denied broadcasting licenses on groundless motivations
during the tenders.
