• Resumen

  • On 16 May 2014, the Preliminary Court of Midden-Nederland ruled that RTL, a Dutch broadcaster, was prohibited from broadcasting images recorded by means of a hidden camera in the television programme �Project P�. The images were recorded at a secondary school in order to bring attention to the bullying of a schoolchild. The Court held that the interest of RTL in informing the public about abuses in society, such as bullying, did not outweigh the right to privacy of the fellow schoolchildren and the teachers of the school.
