Abstract: | On 23 May 2011 the Civil Court, First Hall, sitting in its constitutional capacity, held that the Broadcasting Authority - by withholding two political spots from being broadcast during the divorce referendum campaign - was not in breach of freedom of expression under the Constitution of Malta and the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. No appeal was lodged against this judgment to the Constitutional Court. In Advocate Dr. Deborah Schembri and others in their personal name and on behalf of the Yes for Divorce Movement/Yes for Marriage, the said Yes Movement filed a freedom of expression case against the Broadcasting Authority on 16 May 2011. |
