The accused persons MELAT Blaise, MFONGOCK Didier, NYAMPE Charles II and ATOKI Suzanne were prosecuted before the Court First Instance, Dschang for illegal detention, circulation and attempted commercialization of trophies of totally protected animal species. On the 08 June 2018 judgement was passed. They were all found guilty and sentenced to pay 100,000 XAF each for fines and 38,490 XAF for costs. The civil party, the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife through its lawyer Barrister CHE Fabien filed an appeal against this weak judgement. However as per section 23(2)law N°. 2006/015 of December 29 2006 on judicial organization, the costs of reproduction under penalty of forfeiture of the appeal must be paid within ten days of notification of the order by the appellant to the registry of the court that issued the contested decision. On July 4, 2018, the representative of the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife was notified to pay the sum of 40,000 XAF for the costs of production of the files for procedure within ten (10) days but the appellant failed to do so. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed and rejected.
