FYI. Mark. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: [members-discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2022 18:49:56 +0400 From: AFRINIC Communication <comms@afrinic.net> To: AFRINIC Members Discuss <members-discuss@afrinic.net> Dear Colleagues, I am pleased to share with you the ruling delivered yesterday, 14 February 2022, in the appeal case ref Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf This case was filed in response to a letter that AFRINIC sent to Cloud Innovation Ltd dated 10 March 2021 pursuant to the provisions of the Registration Service Agreement (RSA) whereby AFRINIC contended that Cloud Innovation Ltd was, and continues to be, in breach of the RSA. This appeal stems from Cloud Innovation Ltd’s application for Interim Injunction, which was initially granted in its favour on 29 March 2021, but then set aside by the Honourable Judge in Chambers on 07 July 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd had appealed against that judgement, and the hearing took place on 27 January 2022. To put it simply, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of Mauritius has, after having considered the arguments from both sides, dismissed the appeal. In other words, AFRINIC has won this appeal. No doubt, this is an essential milestone for AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our stakeholders for their continued support. Kind Regards, Eddy Kayihura, Chief Executive Officer, African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) ceo@afrinic.net …………………………………………………………………………….. Chers collègues, J'ai le plaisir de vous faire part de ce jugement rendu hier, 14 février 2022, dans l'affaire en appel réf Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf Cette affaire a été déposée en réponse à un courrier qu’AFRINIC a envoyé à Cloud Innovation Ltd en date du 10 mars 2021 conformément aux dispositions du Registration Service Agreement (RSA), dans lequel l'AFRINIC soutenait que Cloud Innovation Ltd était, et continue d'être, en infraction avec le RSA. Cet appel découle de la demande d'injonction provisoire de Cloud Innovation Ltd, qui a été initialement accordée en sa faveur le 29 mars 2021, mais ensuite annulée par l'honorable juge en chambre le 7 juillet 2021. Cloud Innovation Ltd a fait appel de ce jugement, et l'audience a eu lieu le 27 janvier 2022. En bref, la division d'appel de la Cour suprême de Maurice a, après avoir examiné les arguments des deux parties, rejeté l'appel. En d'autres termes, AFRINIC a gagné cet appel. Il s'agit sans aucun doute d'une étape essentielle pour l'AFRINIC, et nous souhaitons remercier l'équipe et nos parties prenantes pour leur soutien continu. Cordialement Eddy Kayihura, Directeur général, African Network Information Centre (AFRINIC) ceo@afrinic.net ………………………………………………………………………………………….. زملائي الأعزاء، يسعدني أن أشارككم الحكم الصادر بالأمس ، 14 فبراير 2022 ، في قضية الاستئناف المرجع Cloud Innovation Ltd vs African Network Information Center (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf تم رفع هذه القضية ردًا على خطاب أرسلته AFRINIC إلى Cloud Innovation Limited بتاريخ 10 مارس 2021 وفقًا لأحكام اتفاقية خدمة التسجيل (RSA) حيث أكدت AFRINIC أن Cloud Innovation Ltd كانت ولا تزال تنتهك RSA. ينبع هذا الاستئناف من طلب Cloud Innovation Limited للأمر المؤقت ، والذي تم منحه في البداية لصالحها في 29 مارس 2021 ، ولكن بعد ذلك ألغاه القاضي الموقر في الدوائر في 07 يوليو 2021. استأنفت Cloud Innovation Limited ضد هذا الحكم ، و عُقدت جلسة الاستماع في 27 يناير 2022. وببساطة ، فإن دائرة الاستئناف في المحكمة العليا لموريشيوس ، بعد أن نظرت في الحجج المقدمة من كلا الجانبين ، رفضت الاستئناف. بعبارة أخرى ، حازت AFRINIC على هذا النداء. لا شك أن هذا يعد معلمًا أساسيًا لـ AFRINIC ، ونود أن نشكر الفريق وأصحاب المصلحة لدينا على دعمهم المستمر. أطيب التحيات، إيدي كاييهورا ، الرئيس التنفيذى، المركز الأفريقي لمعلومات الشبكة (AFRINIC) ceo@afrinic.net …………………………………………………………………………………………….. Caros Colegas, Tenho o prazer de partilhar convosco a decisão proferida ontem, 14 de Fevereiro de 2022, no processo de recurso ref Cloud Innovation Ltd contra African Network Information Centre (AfriNIC) Ltd. https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf Este caso foi arquivado em resposta a uma carta que a AFRINIC enviou à Cloud Innovation Ltd com data de 10 de Março de 2021, em conformidade com as disposições do Acordo de Serviço de Registo (RSA) em que a AFRINIC alegava que a Cloud Innovation Ltd estava, e continua a estar, em violação da RSA. Este recurso decorre do pedido de injunção provisória da Cloud Innovation Ltd, que foi inicialmente concedido a seu favor a 29 de Março de 2021, mas depois anulado pelo Meritíssimo Juiz das Câmaras a 07 de Julho de 2021. A Cloud Innovation Ltd tinha recorrido dessa sentença, e a audiência teve lugar a 27 de Janeiro de 2022. Para simplificar, a Divisão de Apelação do Supremo Tribunal das Maurícias, após ter considerado os argumentos de ambas as partes, indeferiu o recurso. Por outras palavras, a AFRINIC ganhou este recurso. Sem dúvida, este é um marco essencial para a AFRINIC, e gostaríamos de agradecer à equipa e às nossas partes interessadas o seu apoio continuado.
