The London High Court has dismissed (for the most part) a lawsuit by Digicel alleging that LIME conspired to delay its entry in various Caribbean markets. Digicel was seeking several hundred million dollars.
As part of the discovery process, the parties disclosed more than 1.1 million documents (including the entire e-mail accounts of 85 “Relevant Individuals” at C&W, and even the back-up tapes of e-mail servers). The hearing itself ran 75 days and the legal costs will be in the tens of millions of dollars.
This judgment is not binding on Caribbean regulators. However, it provides a detailed overview of the interconnection regime in various Caribbean jurisdictions. It is mandatory reading for anyone involved in Caribbean telecom regulation!

Welcome to Caribbean Communications Law and Regulation Blog!
Welcome to Caribbean Communications Law and Regulation Blog! Over the coming days, I will begin posting my thoughts and commentary on recent developments in Caribbean Communications Law and Regulation. I expect these postings to be somewhat irregular (perhaps once a week?), but I will do my best to find the time to do it as often as possible. I hope you enjoy it.
