Africa Analysis has provided expert witness in various legal disputes settled in different legal jurisdictions. The expert witness roles that Africa Analysis have fulfilled are:
Appointed to review, analyse and provide expert opinion; and Appointed to provide an expert opinion that is put before the court.
Africa Analysis was requested to provide expert witness in an arbitration court case involving a telecommunications service provider and an equipment vendor in West Africa. The service provider (plaintiff) argued that the equipment vendor failed to notify it about the future technology development path, which the vendor planned to pursue. The case was heard in the International Court of Arbitration.
We prepared an objective expert report, stating the technological development which took place in Africa and other similar, developing telecommunications markets globally. We demonstrated the evolutionary path of the particular technology and assessed the service provider’s likelihood of having to follow the same technological development path, irrespective of what the equipment vendor planned to pursue.
Africa Analysis was requested to be an expert witness in a court case involving a telecommunications service provider and an incumbent operator in Southern Africa. The dispute arose over the incumbent operator’s non-fulfilment of contractual obligations.
The case was heard in a court in the incumbent’s country of registration. We prepared an objective expert report, demonstrating market development in this particular segment of the telecommunications markets in sub-Saharan Africa, assessed the extent of opportunity to participate in those markets, and assessed the service provider’s ability to successfully operate in these markets.
A reseller of mobile telecommunications products and services retained the services of Africa Analysis to provide it with an analysis of certain aspects of the mobile telecommunications market over a period of five years and to provide expert opinion on the assumptions used to model growth of various segments of the market over the same period of time.
The analysis was required in support of a claim brought by the client against a major South Africa parastatal over loss of potential revenue due to allegedly illegal termination of a co-operation agreement. Africa Analysis prepared and submitted the market analysis to the client, who used it to support his claim case against the defendant.
