Interim relief proceedings Thierry Baudet: paraphrasing is not the same as quoting - also from a legal point of view

The preliminary relief proceedings of Thierry Baudet (a Dutch MP) and Forum voor Democratie (FvD, a political party) against VPRO (public broadcasting company) were always seen as having low potential for success. It was therefore not surprising that Baudet’s and FvD’s claims were rejected. Nevertheless, the well-founded judgement provides some interesting considerations. For instance, the judge in preliminary relief proceedings discussed the legal difference between quoting and paraphrasing, and it became clear just how important it is to claim a correct rectification text. Thomas van Vugt, an attorney specialised in media law, discusses the verdict.
