Lawyers for Bermuda Digital Communications trading as Cellular One have begun proceedings for Judicial Review against the Minister of Telecommunications.

The company filed a writ this week against Minister of Telecommunications Michael J. Scott, his director William G. Francis and Senior Magistrate Archibald Warner.

The review dates back to last Friday when Department of Telecommunications officials executed a search warrant on the company's offices and compelled the company to disconnect its service known as The Bull.

Concerns have been expressed that The Bull a wireless broadband data access offering breaches Cellular One's Class B licence, which designates it as a provider of cell phone services and data services.

On Monday, the Supreme Court gave Cellular One leave to issue proceedings for Judicial Review and also ordered that all proceedings taken under last week's search warrant be stayed.

Cellular One has also made an application to the Telecommunications Commission, pursuant to section 13(2) of the Telecommunications Act 1986, for a review of its licence.

The company said earlier this week that it is confident that the Commission will find that The Bull is authorised under terms of Cellular One's licence.
