C3 wins court victory over unpaid fees
A Grand Court judge has ruled that broadband company C3 Pure Fibre is not required to pay several years of unpaid back fees to the industry regulator.
Infinity Broadband, trading as C3 Pure Fibre, won its legal challenge against the Utility Regulation and Competition Office, known as OfReg, after Justice Ian Kawaley determined that the company was not obliged to pay a ‘royalty fee’, amounting to 6% of its quarterly revenue, or a ‘regulatory fee’, the pro rata share of OfReg’s costs of regulating the information communications and technology sector.
C3 had paid nearly $600,000 in those fees since 2015, but stopped paying the royalty fee in 2019 and the regulatory fee in 2022.
