Boundaries of Access to Public Persons' Private Information

Michał Zaremba

This article attempts to establish, based on domestic and European Human Rights Tribunal (Strassburg) jurisdiction, the boundaries of public opinion rights to information about the private matters of public persons. According to the author, the scope of disclosure should not be extended, justified by 'activity in interest of the public' not present in any article so far. The key issue will then be Art. 14, sec. 6 of Press Law.
