Nearly two years after the European Court of Justice has issued its famous judgment on the right to be forgotten, in its Google Spain Case (read our blog from 14 May 2014 here), the Belgian Court of Cassation has for the first time decided itself on the matter (Cass. 29 April 2016, n° C.15.0052.F).

The Court decided that the right to privacy and right to be forgotten expressed by the claimant justify the limitation of the right to freedom of expression from Le Soir. Therefore, Le Soir needs to remove the name of the applicant from the article in its database.
