In an interview with Studio360gh at the Alisa Hotel, Bertrand Nana Turkson a board member expressed his displeasure about the work done by the Registrar Generals Department.
He said it is not the job of Spylee Entertainment to research to find out whether the name they are going to register is already registered or not so as to prevent issues like what the GN Awards is facing now.
"It is not the job of Spylee Entertainment to find out if the name we are registering is already existing or not. It is the duty of the Registrar General to do that. Now look at the billboards that have the Awards ad and the airtime that has gone into publicity. It is all money."
He then continues to say they will sue the Registrar General when all is said and done with the event.
Just last week, an injunction was placed on the name of the awards due to a case filed against Spylee Entertainment by another event organising company called Evolution International.
Evolution International claim to have already registered an event under the said name, "PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDS" though SpyLee Entertainment also claim to have registered the same name as a company.
Finally, the court placed an injunction on the usage of the name by both parties until the case is finally resolved. This forced organisers of awards scheme slated for 21st March, change the name to GN BANK AWARDS.
