[Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

[AFRINIC Communication]

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,

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

Directeur général,

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 ،

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

[Dewole Ajao]

Thanks for the update which you seem to be celebrating (if I read you
correctly). For those like me who are legalese-challenged, does this mean
that Cloud Innovation's resources are now effectively revoked? If I
remember correctly, all of this started with a notice that resources were
to be revoked at a certain date on the basis of non-compliance with
the RSA, right?

Re: [Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

[Owen DeLong via Community-Discuss]

To be clear, the appeal was dismissed strictly on the grounds that the existing 
injunction essentially renders the appeal moot.

No judgment has yet been made by any court regarding the merits of the overall 
case.

Re: [Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

[Owen DeLong via Community-Discuss]

It does not… The current injunction still stands. In fact, the standing of the 
current injunction is the basis on which the
judge ruled that the appeal was effectively moot and therefore dismissed it.

Re: [Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

[John Curran]

Owen -

Thank you for your interesting analysis of the recent court judgement announced 
below by AFRINIC –  could please you share some reference to the document that 
is the basis for your views?

(I was not aware that the judgement had been made publicly available.)

Thanks!

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.

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

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،

[Community-Discuss] Cloud Innovation Ltd vs AFRINIC (SCR 5C/30/21) Court Update

[Sylvain Baya]

Dear AfriNIC's Community,

Hope this email finds you in good health,

Please see my comments below, inline...

Le mardi 15 février 2022, Dewole Ajao  a écrit :

Hi Dewole,
Thanks for your email, brother :-)
...i'm samely challenged, though, but it's certainly
a good new for the stability of the whole INRS...
even if it turns out to be just temporary...btw, i
know someone, following up and, who could easily
 & freely explain the sustainable impact of what the
 honorable judges ruled out.

...i guess i can freely paste the first four pages below:

~°~
CLOUD INNOVATION LTD v AFRICAN NETWORK INFORMATION CENTRE

(AFRINIC) LTD

2022 SCJ 51

Record No. 121865

THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS

In the matter of:-

Cloud Innovation Ltd

Appellant

v.

African Network Information Centre (Afrinic) Ltd

Respondent

-

JUDGMENT

This is an appeal against a judgment of the learned Judge in Chambers
delivered

on 7 July 2021 setting aside an application for injunctive relief.

At the hearing, the appellant dropped grounds 1(v), 2, 3 and 5 out of the 7

grounds of appeal. We, however, do not propose to deal with the merits of
the remaining

grounds of appeal for the reasons set out below.

During the hearing, reference was made to 2 other Judge in Chambers

applications as well as a “main case”. As a superior Court of record, some
disturbing

features have now come to our attention. In the present case, the appellant
(then

applicant) had applied in essence for an injunction restraining and
prohibiting the

respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource
member of

the respondent (“the first application”). In the judgment delivered on 7
July 2021, the

learned Judge in Chambers upheld a preliminary objection raised by the
respondent and

set aside the first application with costs, hence the present appeal.


2

Subsequently, Court records reveal that the same appellant lodged a series
of

applications before different Judges sitting in Chambers on 12 July, 13
July,

3 September, 6 September, 26 November, 1 December and 3 December 2021. The

particulars of these applications and of the first application have been
set out in tabular

form in an annex to this judgment (Annex A).

>From a reading of all these applications, it is patently clear that the
appellant was

in effect praying for the same remedy in all of them, namely to restrain
and prohibit the

respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource
member of

the respondent. All the applications have been set aside except for the
ones lodged on

6 September 2021 and 3 December 2021.

For the purposes of this appeal, the application lodged on 3 December 2021
(“the

last application”) is of particular interest. In this application, the
learned Judge in

Chambers granted, ex parte, an interim order in the following terms:-

“…. let an interim order in the nature of an injunction issue, restraining
and

prohibiting the respondent, either by itself, its agent, representatives or

préposé from:

(i) acting in any manner whatsoever on or giving effect to its Board

Resolution of the 8th July 2021 or any similar Board resolution or its

letter of the 1st December 2021 or any other similar letter, in any

manner whatsoever, which has the effect of terminating the

membership of the applicant in the respondent as a Resource

Member; and

(ii) acting on or giving effect to its decision, in any manner whatsoever,

which has the effect of breaching the Undertaking of the

15th July 2021 in application bearing Serial No. 1040/2021.”

The matter has now been made returnable to show cause why the interim order

should not be made interlocutory “pending the determination of the disputes
between the

parties”.

Learned Counsel for the appellant has invited us to quash the judgment in
the first

application and to remit it for consideration before a different Judge. We
are of the view

that this would serve no useful purpose and be a waste of time and
resources. In the

light of the above, it is clear that the appellant has already been granted
interim injunctive

relief in wide terms in the last application but is still insisting on
proceeding with the first

application wherein it is in effect applying for the same remedy. There is
no raison d’être


3

for the first application and hence for this appeal. It is a matter of
regret that, with regard

to their duty towards the Court, the legal advisers did not deem it fit to
apprise us of the

existence and particulars of the last application where the appellant has,
in the meantime,

been granted interim injunctive relief. We must also express our concern at
the number

of successive applications lodged by the appellant against the respondent
praying in

effect for

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).

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.

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 all these applications before the court seeking similar remedy was 
considered sufficiently relevant by the court to be included in the judgement.

Record No. 121865
THE SUPREME COURT OF MAURITIUS
In the matter of:-
Cloud Innovation Ltd
Appellant
v.
African Network Information Centre (Afrinic) Ltd
Respondent
-
JUDGMENT
This is an appeal against a judgment of the learned Judge in Chambers delivered
on 7 July 2021 setting aside an application for injunctive relief.
At the hearing, the appellant dropped grounds 1(v), 2, 3 and 5 out of the 7
grounds of appeal. We, however, do not propose to deal with the merits of the 
remaining
grounds of appeal for the reasons set out below.
During the hearing, reference was made to 2 other Judge in Chambers
applications as well as a “main case”. As a superior Court of record, some 
disturbing
features have now come to our attention. In the present case, the appellant 
(then
applicant) had applied in essence for an injunction restraining and prohibiting 
the
respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource 
member of
the respondent (“the first application”). In the judgment delivered on 7 July 
2021, the
learned Judge in Chambers upheld a preliminary objection raised by the 
respondent and
set aside the first application with costs, hence the present appeal.

2
Subsequently, Court records reveal that the same appellant lodged a series of
applications before different Judges sitting in Chambers on 12 July, 13 July,
3 September, 6 September, 26 November, 1 December and 3 December 2021. The
particulars of these applications and of the first application have been set 
out in tabular
form in an annex to this judgment (Annex A).
From a reading of all these applications, it is patently clear that the 
appellant was
in effect praying for the same remedy in all of them, namely to restrain and 
prohibit the
respondent from terminating the membership of the appellant as a resource 
member of
the respondent. All the applications have been set aside except for the ones

> 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،
