i) Summary relating to [name redacted]
The Tribunal was asked to consider imposing a prohibition against [name
redacted] pursuant to paragraph 4.8.2(g) of the 12th edition of the PhonepayPlus
Code of Practice (12th edition) (the “Code”).
The case related to adjudications against the Level 2 providers Peekaboo
Investments Ltd (20 December 2013, case reference: 11894) and Mobjizz Ltd (20
December 2013, case reference: 14491), both of which were settled by way of
Consent Order. These cases concerned the promotion and operation of adult
video download services (the “Service(s)”). In addition, evidence from an
adjudication dated 18 March 2010 against Antiphony Limited was presented to the
Tribunal.
The two Consent Orders dated 20 December 2013 permitted the Executive to
present evidence to an Oral hearing Tribunal for it to consider whether it was
appropriate to impose a prohibition on [name redacted]. On 27 March 2014, after
considering written submissions from the Executive and [name redacted], the Oral
hearing Tribunal instructed the Executive to initiate the process which may lead to
the prohibition of [name redacted], (an associated individual) pursuant to
paragraph 4.8.2(g) of the Code.
The Executive conducted this matter in accordance with paragraph 4.8.6 of the
Code. The Executive sent a notification of potential prohibition to [name redacted]
on 4 April 2014 and representatives acting on behalf of [name redacted]
responded on 6 May 2014. On 15 May 2014, the Tribunal reached a decision on
the potential prohibition of [name redacted].
The Tribunal considered the following evidence in full:
- The Peekaboo Investment Ltd Consent Order and associated
investigation documentation;
- The Mobjizz Consent Order and associated investigation
documentation;
- The Tribunal decision against Antiphony Limited of 18 March 2010
and associated investigation documentation;
- Directions issued by the Chair of the Oral hearing Tribunal dated 13
March 2014;
- The Executive’s memorandum of 11 March 2014 to the Oral
hearing Tribunal;
