• Resumen

  • The operator of the search engine Google can be held liable for breaches of the law on third-party websites displayed in search results. The precondition for this is that Google has been informed about the breach and has nevertheless not taken any suitable measures to block the content accessed via the search engine. This was the ruling of the Landgericht Köln (Cologne Regional Court) in a judgment of 16 September 2015 (Case 28 O 14/14).
