THE National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has again sought permission to file a fresh appeal against a Federal High Court judgment that stripped it of the power to impose fines on broadcast stations, weeks after its previous appeal was struck out over a procedural error. This was disclosed in a statement released by the Media Rights Agenda (MRA) on Monday, August 3. The NBC also wanted leave to raise a fresh issue questioning the legal capacity of Media Rights Agenda (MRA) that initiated the original suit. The appellate court held that the appeal was incompetent because the commission’s Notice of Appeal wrongly described the appellant as the “Nigerian Broadcasting Commission” instead of its statutory name, the “National Broadcasting Commission.” It urged the court to allow it to pursue a fresh appeal despite the earlier procedural defect.
