        <div>Indeed - upon review, it is apparent that "the
          standing of the current injunction is the basis on which
          the judge ruled that the appeal was effectively moot and
          therefore dismissed it.” (as stated by Owen).</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>However, the weakness of such a statement is that
          it doesn’t convey the full context of the learned judge's
          ruling - the “disturbing features” of the entire matter before
          the court of record, the “concern at the number of successive
          applications lodged by the appellant against the respondent
          praying in effect for the same remedy.", etc.  </div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>This is why the other assertion that Owen made
          (i.e. "the appeal was dismissed _strictly_ (emphasis added) on
          the grounds that the existing injunction essentially renders
          the appeal moot.”) is more speculative in nature – as one
          cannot know if it was “strictly” on that basis and/or the
          extent that these "distributing features” weighed into
          consideration – only that the full context of <span style="text-align:justify">all these applications
            before the court seeking similar remedy </span>was
          considered sufficiently relevant by the court to be included

                      <div>Dear Colleagues,<br>
                        <br>
                        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. <a href="https://0ms46.mjt.lu/lnk/AMQAAL0vDs8AAAAAAAAAAACmxp4AAAAAE_8AAAAAABs8ugBiDKRTP8yziTFAT96loQJtLRFrAAAaKb0/3/a5kuihxz2Y2KkjsPmjXalQ/aHR0cHM6Ly9hZnJpbmljLm5ldC9hc3QvY2FzZTktanVkZ2VtZW50LnBkZg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://afrinic.net/ast/case9-judgement.pdf</a> <br>
                        <br>
                        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.<br>
                        <br>
                        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.<br>
                        <br>
                        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.<br>
                        <br>
                        No doubt, this is an essential milestone for
                        AFRINIC, and we wish to thank the team and our
                        stakeholders for their continued support. <br>
                        <br>
                        <br>
                        Kind Regards,<br>
