• Resumen

  • In its judgment of 28 April 2015, the Dutch Court of Appeal of Amsterdam rejected a claim to prevent the broadcast of video footage that was acquired in spite of a film ban. The appellants (a producer and the broadcasting organisation KRO-NCRV) wanted to test whether someone dressed in a uniform-like outfit would be able to act like an employee of a given company. They filmed such an experiment in the retail store of the respondent with a hidden camera and a hand-held camera. In a judgment on preliminary relief proceedings, the court of first instance prevented the appellants from broadcasting the footage. The appellants filed an appeal.
