Paragraph
4.8.6
The Tribunal was asked to consider a prohibition against Clive Aldred under paragraph 4.8.2(g) of the
12th Edition of the PhonepayPlus Code of Practice (the “Code”). The case related to three previous
adjudications against the Network operator Starcomm Limited (“Starcomm”) (case reference 827372,
dated 15 April 2010; case reference 844739, dated 2 September 2010; and, case reference 04292,
dated 29 March 2012).
On 29 March 2012, the Tribunal recommended that the Executive consider initiating the process
which may lead to the prohibition of Mr Aldred under paragraph 4.8.2(g).
The Tribunal concluded that Mr Aldred was an associated individual in each of the cases cited by the
Executive and had been knowingly involved in a series of breaches of the Code.
Taking into account all the circumstances, t
he Tribunal decided to prohibit Clive Aldred from
providing, or having any involvement in, any premium rate service for a period of three years. The
prohibition is suspended for 12 months to allow for full payment of all monies outstanding to
PhonepayPlus as set out in Mr Aldred's letter to PhonepayPlus dated 5 September 2012 (the
“letter”). The Tribunal further ordered that, if there is any default in respect of any of the payments
due under the terms of the letter, the prohibition will come into immediate effect from the date of such
default. If the outstanding monies are fully paid in accordance with the terms of the letter, the
prohibition is to be lifted.
