Here is the translation of the court decision analysis:<\/p>\n
1. Subject of Dispute: Recognition of information as unreliable regarding the alleged demand by the plaintiff for 100,000 dollars, published by the defendant on the Facebook social network.<\/p>\n
2. Main Arguments of the Court:
\n– The court drew attention to the need to distinguish between facts and value judgments
\n– It was emphasized that for public figures (deputies), the boundaries of criticism are broader
\n– The court pointed out the absence of indisputable evidence of the information’s reliability from the defendant’s side
\n– Emphasis was placed on the importance of maintaining a balance between freedom of expression and protection of an individual’s reputation<\/p>\n
3. Court Decision: The Cassation Court canceled previous court decisions and referred the case for a new review to the court of first instance for additional examination of the case circumstances.<\/p>\n
Note: The court essentially deviated from the previous practice regarding the burden of proof in cases of reputation protection.<\/p>\n
