• Resumen

  • In a ruling of 30 September 2014, which has not yet been published in full (case no. VI ZR 490/12), the Bundesgerichtshof (Federal Supreme Court - BGH) decided that the public�s right to information should take precedence over a politician�s general privacy rights. Although the judgment concerns print media, it is also relevant to reporting in the audiovisual media sector.
