PowNed never allowed to broadcast images of a private appointment of Onno Hoes. The District Court of Amsterdam certain Wednesday that the broadcaster has gone wrong with the images both to broadcast on the Internet and on television.
No matter what’s been going on with Onno Hoes and PowNed? Five questions and answers about this matter.
1. What PowNed done?
PowNed published in late December footage of a dinner date between Onno Hoes, then mayor of Maastricht and the twenty Robbie Hasselt. Hasselt filmed the event with a secret camera. He also published personal data from the work agenda of hoes on his weblog. The images of the event were shown in the PowNews .
2. How did Onno Hoes?
Hoes was very upset about the pictures taken. Under Cover is his reputation damaged late last year without any public interest. The VVD resigned his position as mayor of Maastricht down after the broadcast PowNews . He also announced legal action to PowNed direction.
3. What the judges judge exactly?
The court ruled Wednesday that PowNed was secretly mistake filming former Mayor Hoes. The broadcaster should have never broadcast the images. PowNed must now ensure that the unlawful fragments are untraceable digital search engines.
In addition, the Court ruled that the images of PowNed be manipulated to some extent. The broadcaster has also committed not heard. For that reason PowNed a copy of the original video and audio material to give cover.
Gerry van der List: ‘The bitter demise of hoes raises interesting questions. For example, about journalism decency and separation between private and political. ” Read Now & gt;
The judge indicated that a mayor and other public figures are not outlawed. “Not even if he himself has given rise to public debate on his person.” The judge found that PowNed no serious abuse of cover has been demonstrated with the hidden camera. “The offense was on the private life of Hoes not justified.
Hasselt need the pictures and chats about the filmed event incidentally not rectify on his blog. He also needs to cede any material to cover.
4. What did Hoes achieve and how was the process?
The lawyer Hoes demanded at the first trial which PowNed the secret images had to rectify and prevent further spread impossible. The former mayor also wanted to get their hands on the images themselves. The Public Prosecutor (OM) provided in May that the declaration of Hoes was dropped. According to the public broadcaster had committed any criminal offenses.
Hoes was not satisfied with the ruling and continued with a civil lawsuit. In June showed that all images broadcast from their own website and broadcast had removed missed. The judgment of the court of Amsterdam today shows PowNed is indeed a criminal offense.
5. What happens now?
The court decision is a provisional decision. A final decision comes only once PowNed and Onno Hoes have been with each other in debate. There is still a cover of procedure. In it he demands compensation from the broadcaster, because he feels that the broadcast of the images was done illegally.
Hoes responded relieved after the trial. “The goal has been reached. The judge found that people who perform a public function not outlawed, “let lawyer Steven Kalff know on behalf of the former mayor.
PowNed is disappointed in the judge’s ruling and will appeal. According to lawyer Cor Hellingman broadcasting continues to believe that it is justifiable to send images of the private appointment.
Other than the court, we continue to believe that there actually has been a malpractice which published the shooting justified, “says Hellingman behalf PowNed. The appeal itself as soon as the soil procedure has been completed and there is a definitive ruling by the court.
