dc.description.abstract | In 2017, after the assassination of the Maltese journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia, strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs) became an important topic on the EU level. As a result, the EU adopted the anti-SLAPP Directive, which shall protect journalists from abusive lawsuits that do not serve justice but only the sinister aim of silencing free press. Days from now, that directive will enter into force. Member States have two years for implementation. Nevertheless, the Directive is not the EU’s only SLAPP-related legal project at the moment. There is important litigation as well. This litigation originates, of all places, from the equally flashy and dirty world of professional football. In February 2024, Advocate General Maciej Szpunar delivered his opinion on the Real Madrid Club de Fútbol vs Le Monde case (C-633/22). The case addressed the problem of exorbitant damages targeting press and introducing a deterrent effect on freedom of speech in transnational cases. It is the Court of Justice of the European Union’s (ECJ) first opportunity to address the vastly growing problem of SLAPPs. | en |
