« Il incombe au juge français, qui reconnaît applicable un droit étranger, d’en rechercher la teneur, soit d’office, soit à la demande d’une partie qui l’invoque, avec le concours des parties et personnellement s’il y a lieu, et de donner à la question litigieuse une solution conforme au droit positif étranger ».
La condamnation civile d’une association au retrait d’un article reprochant à l’auteur de la préface d’un ouvrage des propos antisémites n’a pas enfreint le droit à la liberté d’expression, les juridictions internes s’étant appuyées sur des motifs pertinents et suffisants.
La Cour européenne des droits de l’homme a jugé, hier, que la transcription d’une conversation téléphonique entre un avocat et son client, placé sur écoute, ne violait pas les dispositions de la Convention relatives à la protection de la vie privée, dès lors qu’elle révélait l’existence d’une infraction commise par l’avocat.

Others have reported in some detail, and I am happy to refer, on Arlewin v Sweden at the ECtHR – the second Strasbourg conflicts ruling I report on in more or less one week. Epra have a short and sweet review, based mostly on the Court’s press release but useful nevertheless: they for instance suggest that Strasbourg have extended e-Date Advertising’s centre of interests rule for infringement of personality rights via the internet, to transmission by satellite. Dirk Voorhoof takes the media regulation angle. Dr Takis has the most extensive review over at Profs Peers and Barnard’s EU law analysis.
The case is a good illustration of an important port of entry for the ECHR into EU conflicts law in commercial litigation at least (I am not talking here of family law): Article 6’s right to fair trial. (See here for more extensive review of the Convention’s impact on European private international law). Strasbourg and Luxemburg are playing combination football here: the ECtHR approving of the CJEU’s application of the Brussels I Regulation in the case of libel and defamation. Especially with the EC’s recent shift of focus to the plaintiff’s position rather than the defendant’s , nothing guarantees of course that in the future EU law at this point might not be at odds with human rights law.
