Copyr. Vienna Supreme Court 05

Mr. Griess was sentenced by the Supreme Court to injunction, removal and publication of ruling in relation to publication of certain articles belonging to the “Norwegian Movement”. The Supreme Court confirmed our legal opinion that the defendant’s website is not an independent academic work.

Mr. Griess was allowed his method of quotation in a relatively small section (small quote).

In another large section, (regarding the unauthorized publication of an extensive correspondence by the defendant, F. Griess), the Supreme Court overturned the initial ruling entirely and assigned the making of a new decision to the court of first instance.
