LIME blocks on Flow barred
February 16, 2009
Supreme Court judge Courtney Daye has granted an order barring LIME (formerly Cable & Wireless) from disrupting, reducing or terminating interconnectivity access between its networks and those of telecommunications rival Flow.
The injunction, which was granted last week Thursday, is to remain in force until the suit which Flow has brought against LIME has been heard and determined.

LIME will be appealing the ruling.
In December 2008, Flow brought the suit against LIME, claiming that it had wrongly blocked most of the lines which Flow's customers use to contact LIME landlines. The court granted a temporary injunction on December 10 requiring LIME to unblock the lines.
LIME applied on December 18 last year to set aside the injunction. Queen's Counsel Hilary Phillips and attorney-at-law Denise Kitson, who are representing LIME, argued that the injunction should be set aside because Flow had not disclosed some material information when it applied for the injunction.
