Abstract
For the first time, the Austrian Constitutional Court had to pronounce upon the merits of a complaint of a person claiming that her personality rights have been infringed during her hearing as a witness before a committee of inquiry of the National Council. The complainant claimed infringements of her rights to honour and to the protection of her economic reputation due to statements of committee members and the failure of the committee’s officials to intervene. The Court dismissed the complaint as unjustified on the merits, ruling that – in the light of the right to freedom of expression provided for in Article 10 ECHR – there has been no infringement of the complainant’s personality rights.
