Judgement for the case von Hannover v Germany

Table Of Contents

  • Princess Caroline of Monaco sued various magazine publishers to stop them publishing photographs of her going about her daily business (doing innocuous activities).

Held

  • Article 8

    • Claimant is public figure

      • However she does not exercise any public functions

    • Thus mere fact that Claimant is well-known does not necessarily mean public has legitimate interest in seeing photos of Claimant going about her daily business.

  • Article 10

    • Relevant factor is that photos were often taken in climate of continual harassment.

    • Additionally her private activities are not relevant to any debate of public interest

      • Rather are solely to satisfy curiosity of readers

Facts

  • On facts, Claimantโ€™s Article 8 rights had been breached.
