Lawyers to Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), G.O.
Sodipo& Co, have today filed an immediate Notice of Appeal and Motion for Stay
of Execution at the Federal High Court, Lagoswith respect to the judgment of Hon
Justice Saliu Saidu delivered
today which raised issues onthe name of the society.
COSON wishes to assure all its members, affiliates,
licensees, reciprocal representation partners and the general public that there
is no judgment anywhere saying that COSON is dead or has ceased to exist. The
general public is aware of the gang-up to destroy COSON for no other reason
than that COSON has been phenomenally successful. Nothing the adversaries have
done has stopped COSON from standing tall. Anyone who thinks that events today
will stop COSON is daydreaming. Indeed, COSON is working!
With all due respect to the learned judge, we vehemently
disagree with his decision, for very good reasons. We have asked our lawyers to
forcefully appeal the judge’s decision up to the Supreme Court, if necessary.By
filing the processes in court today without any delay, the lawyers have shown
that they are equal to the task.Like most people know, the beauty of the
judicial system in a democracy is that no decision is final until the Supreme
Court has spoken. We have 100% confidence that the name COSON, will continue to
shine bright across the Nigerian nation and across the world for many years to
come.
