Sometime last year, while watching a Manchester United game, there was a break in transmission of about 10 to 20 minutes. This was a match that was integral to our qualification to the next stage of the game. It left me in a state of utmost apprehension.
I quickly checked the mobile app of the cable TV and the same problem persisted.
I had used and abandoned 2 decoders in the past due to repeated increase in the subscription fee and lack of corresponding value or change in service quality.
My most recent decoder was purchased when I saw an advert by the cable TV promising "uninterrupted" viewing. I decided to give it one last shot.
You can imagine my disappointment when despite the advert and representation that made me get a new decoder, there was a break in transmission of up to 20 minutes while the primary aim of subscription was going on.
I sued the cable TV.
I'm happy to state that today, the FCT High Court delivered a well-considered judgement in David Ogundipe v Multichoice Nigeria Ltd. His lordship found merit in my suit and held that indeed, there was a breach of contract to afford me uninterrupted viewing.
I was represented by my colleague, O.E Oluwadamisi, Esq. Again, this decision validates our approach to law practice at Earnest Attorneys LP - to use law as a tool of social engineering and to push matters that advance the cause of the common man.
My faith in the judiciary is unshaken and I will not stop at anything to enforce my rights when such is breached by any private person or institution.
We cannot advance the society by law if we all have our eyes on transactions that are in billions and millions. We must tailor law practice in a manner that serves both the highs and the lows.
