ABSTRACT
Identifying the judge in charge of handling disputes dealing
with electronic communications in Cameroon is not an easy task. This difficulty
is bound to the multiplicity of the competent jurisdictions on the subject, and
to the indistinctness of the law on the skill of the jurisdictions of recourse
against the decisions of the Telecommunications Regulatory Board (T.R.B).
Indeed, the article 65 ( 8 ) of the law governing the electronic communications
which lays out that: " The decisions of the organ may of recourse either in
front of the referee, or in front of the jurisdictions of common right ", is
not rather explicit. It awards the recourses against the decisions of the
T.R.B, wearing dispute settlement, to the jurisdictions of common right. The
performance of this article lets think that the jurisdictions of common right
here, appoint as well the jurisdictions of the judicial order as those of the
administrative order. It does not give precisions onto the competent
jurisdictions in every order.
After analysis, it stands out the recourses against the
decisions of the T.R.B related to dispute settlement between operators, or
between an operator and a consumer, must be worn in front of a jurisdiction of
the judicial order, because the dispute brings together the persons and/or
subjects of private law, which must be conciliate in a marigold of good
administration of the justice. The jurisdiction the best indicated to know of
these recourses, is the Court of Appeal because, the T.R.B is, with regard to
its power of settlement, a quasi-jurisdiction of first spring.
As regards, the recourses against the administrative
penalties taken by the T.A.B, they must be worn in front of the administrative
court of the seat of the authority having taken the affected decision.
Procedural rules in front of this jurisdiction are classics.
Beyond the difficulties which raise measures related to the
recourses against the decisions of the T.R.B, the rules of skill concerning the
office of the penal judge and the referee in electronic communications present
specificities.
