| Abstract: | On 7 February 2012, in Smash Communications Limited v. Broadcasting Authority et al, decided by the Civil Court, First Hall, the Court concluded that the present system established in the Broadcasting Act regulating the imposition of administrative sanctions by the Broadcasting Authority was in breach of the principle of natural justice nemo iudex in causa propria (no person may be a judge in his/her own cause; see IRIS 2012-5/33). The defendants (the Broadcasting Authority and its Chief Executive) appealed this decision and on 24 June 2016 the Court of Appeal delivered its judgment. [Excerpt] |
