Legal News: Final or Risky
CK - Washington. Reporting on court decisions can be risky. A German court almost held an owner of a website liable for defamation after a party mentioned in a decision reported on the site succeeded in having the decision amended and then sued the publisher. Fortunately, the case was dismissed. The court stated that the owner of the site should have been given reasonable time to alert its readers to the change after the appeal. The Bahr<> blog reports also on two similar cases. The most recent decision is from the Munich court of first instance in the matter 161 C 17453/04 of September 14, 2005. Disclaimer: The Munich decision may be subject to an appeal and this report may later prove wrong but will not change. German American Law Journal :: Washington USA
