Cour de cassation - 23.11.2010

Case

Country

Case Description: Several articles were published on a website in which serious allegations were made against the UJA and its founder. Specifically, they were alleged to have been involved in the implementation of the racist laws of the Vichy regime through their participation in the Bar Council (conseil de l'ordre) in 1941, thereby contributing to the persecution and exclusion ("radiation des avocats juifs") of Jewish lawyers. The texts underlying these allegations speak of the "solution to the Jewish question" (question juive) through exclusion followed by deportations. Those affected by these accusations subsequently filed a complaint for public defamation. The website operator, who had been convicted in the court of first instance, was acquitted by the Court of Appeal. The appeal in cassation filed against the acquittal was dismissed.
