A legal action by mobile network operator, MTN, challenging the processes that led to it being classified by the National Communications Authority (NCA) as a significant market player (SMP) in the telecommunication industry, has commenced at the Commercial Division of the Accra High Court.

MTN is in court with a judicial review application urging the court to quash the NCA’s decision with an argument that the regulator failed to give it a hearing before classifying it as an SMP.

The NCA, however, insists in its affidavit in opposition to the application that at all material times, MTN was aware and participated in the process that led to it being classified as an SMP.

The application is before Justice Afi Agbanu Kudomor.
Mr. Anthony Forson, the President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), is the lawyer for MTN while Mr. Gary Nimako Marfo is a lawyer for the NCA.
