How to protect a company’s business reputation through the courts?

The main questions are – Which court to file a claim with, when it comes to the protection of a company’s business reputation? Who will be the defendant, if the defamatory information was disseminated by the mass media? What must the plaintiff prove, and is it possible to apply for expert examination of materials, which contain the defamatory information? Solution: if the claim for protection of a company’s business reputation derives from business activities, then a claim needs to be submitted to an arbitration court. Defendants shall be recognized as those individuals who spread defamatory information or reports, and the court will require them to prove that the information corresponds to reality. An expert examination can be requested when there are no other ways to establish the defamatory character of the information.
