MEDIA LAW, PERSONALITY RIGHTS
The law of personality rights is a special area of civil law. Its goal is the personal protection of individuals and legal entities, namely ensuring the free effectiveness of personality and preventing that the individual’s possibilities to exercise this right is being limited. These rights shall be respected by everyone; therefore, in certain cases their violation is sanctioned by the Civil Code and the Criminal Code.
These sanctions are mixed and can be divided into so called objective and subjective penalties. The applicability of certain legal consequences depends on the type of the violated personal right and the type of the violation.
