Very good news!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I don?t know how these things work in Mauritius courts, but it will be good to ask that all the legal expenses are borne by the other party.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In addition to that, I believe AFRINIC must ask for image damages and compensation for the troubles created by the accounts freezing, because clearly this has been a reckless claim.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This is the only way to also show to others that the rules have to be followed and litigation is not the way to escape from rules.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
