The Privy Council has refused an application from Symbiote Investments Limited, which trades as Caricel, to seek permission to bring an appeal against a Court of Appeal ruling on the revocation of its telecommunications licences.
In a media release today, the Office of Utilities Regulation, OUR, said the decision was handed down on July 21, effectively ending the legal battle that has been in the courts since 2018.
Symbiote had applied to the Supreme Court in 2018 for leave to seek judicial review of the Minister of Science, Energy and Technology’s decision to revoke six licences that were previously issued to the company under the Telecommunications Act, on the advice of the OUR.
