The Federal Constitutional Court's (Bunderverfassunggericht) recent decision to allow radio and television coverage of its giving of reasons for judgments has given public and private television services something they have been asking for a long time. The decision is particularly welcome in view of the fact that the Federal and Land justice ministers unanimously confirmed, in mid-June, the Courts Act's prohibition on the recording or filming of court proceedings for public presentation on radio or television, the aim being to protect the personal rights of parties and ensure that the proceedings... |
