The telco tells the Constitutional Court it is in the interests of justice that leave to appeal be granted in the Please Call Me case.
Vodacom this week urged the Constitutional Court to overturn the Supreme Court of Appeal ruling, which set aside the CEO’s R47 million compensation offer to Please Call Me inventor Nkosana Makate .
This, after Vodacom in February lodged an application with the ConCourt for leave to appeal a previous ruling by the SCA.in the legal battle, when Vodacom Group CEO Shameel Joosub was ordered to determine new compensation for Makate. “Vodacom appealed against the SCA judgement, not only on the basis that the terms of the referral were incorrect, but it fundamentally appealed against that judgement on the basis that the CEO’s determination should not have been overturned at all, or that if referred back, it should have been referred back in different terms.
According to Trengrove, Joosub’s offer was fair and reasonable, and it has always been Vodacom’s case that “as a matter of fact, there is no direct revenue attributable to the PCM – which is a non-billable service – and there is therefore no accurate methodology to determine indirect revenue”.
