Hogan Lovells on 21 August reports on a June decision by the ECHR that Germany had correctly denied 2 individuals their “right to be forgotten” requests in connection with press archives relating to a 1991 murder. They were released from prison in 2008 and brought actions against a German radio station and a weekly magazine asking that articles and radio interviews relating to the 1991 murder be removed from their website archives. The ECHR found that the German Supreme Court had correctly applied the balancing test relating to right to be forgotten claims.
