SECOND SECTION

Application no. 24791/14 Mihai GHIMPU and others against the Republic of Moldova lodged on 18 March 2014

SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CASE

The application concerns the domestic courts ’ refusal to find that certain statements about the applicants in a video aired on a private TV channel affected their reputation. It raises an issue under Article 8 of the Convention.

QUESTION tO THE PARTIES

Has there been a breach of Article 8 of the Convention in the present case? In particular, did the courts carry out a proper assessment of the facts so as to strike a faire balance between the media ’ s freedom of expression and the applicants ’ right to protection of their reputation (see, for instance, Petrenco v. Moldova , no. 20928/05 , §§ 44-68, 30 March 2010 )?
