For those who might not understand what I mean - ex parte is done with respect to or in the interests of one side only or of an interested outside party. This is a basic tenet in law. Was Afrinic given an opportunity to defend itself before these orders to freeze its accounts were given? Or were summons given and Afrinic ignored them?

A court giving an unprecedented ex parte ruling against an African Organization in favor of a Hongkong-based organization who we are all clear is a purveyor of African IP Addresses to organizations outside of Africa as its core business model.
