Appeals Court orders new trial in Klubrádió suit against media authority

The Budapest Appeals Court cancelled a first level court ruling in the Klubrádió case, objecting that this court neglected the new media act, thus the first level court should restart the procedure.

Klubrádió had turned to the court because the national radio and television council ORTT and its legal successor the national media and telecommunications authority NMHH has not signed a frequency usage contract despite Klubrádió winning the 92.9 MHz frequency.

Meanwhile Klubrádió filed a bid for the 95.3 MHz frequency but the Media Council closed it out, because the backs of pages were not signed. Klubrádió will turn to the court also in this case.

    “the back pages were not signed”.

    Words fail me.

    Maybe the colour of the ink was wrong too?
    And the handwriting not elegant enough?

    It is interesting that the government and it’s followers want to make an issue out of such a high profile problem on such an apparently flimsy pretext.

    Wasn’t Fidesz not the party that promised to reduce the red tape? Well, Hungary’s tape is burgundy now and I think we’ll soon see black tape… the darkside of the tape.
