Having looked at many cases in my view, the, SC got it totally wrong..... A public person has just as much protection Re defamation as, anyone else.... However... A judge or politician... In their public duties... Can expect reasonable criticism

Are you sure that's right?

The guy ,Prunea, wrote a piece in a paper about a politician, MI, who took him to court and won all the way.
ECHR ruled that Prunea was entitled to his view.

 suing the network, the production company Critical Content, and several consultants for $750 million over a true-crime special asserting he caused his younger sister’s infamous death, JonBenét Ramsey’s brother Burke Ramsey has reportedly settled with CBS for an undisclosed amount of money. “I can only comment that the case has been amicably resolved to the satisfaction of all parties,” Ramsey’s lawyer Lin Wood said in a statement Friday. “It is now my professional and personal wish for this family that they no longer suffer the pain of false accusations in the future.” The settlement was also confirmed by a network spokesperson.



I'm surprised ni one has, raised this point

ECHR ruled Romanian courts had not violated article 10 & Prunea had to pay damages.

That's probably because it doesn't involve ECHR laws IMO.

Prunea was the applicant to the ECHR court. Why should he pay damages?

In fact Prunea paid 5000 euro to the Romanian Court. This was deemed reasonable by the ECHR

So the ECHR ruled that the journalist had no right to defame a public figure.. That sems to be the point

They might have to if they want EU Grants.

I think you'll find that the EU and the ECHR aren't connected.

If The ECHR can't enforce it then they are a waste of time.  Which I very much doubt.

It's like Fantasy Island on here sometimes.

Wow! who would have thunk the ECHR has no connection to the member states of the EU.
