In a media release of June 23, 2017, the Federal Supreme Court publishes a leading decision according to which two media companies unlawfully breached the privacy of the plaintiff by participating in a media campaign as of November 4, 2009. It also upholds the entitlement of the plaintiff for handing over the profits from the violating articles and his right, prior to specifying the amount of these profits, to require the defendants to disclose information and accounts to this end. The Federal Supreme Court furthermore upholds the right of the plaintiff to a review by the lower court as to whether the defendants unlawfully breached his privacy through the publication of further media reports as of September 2011. Finally, it dismisses the rejection of a claim for satisfaction due to insufficient evidence. The Commercial Court of the Canton of Zurich is required to reopen the case in all these points.The plaintiff, Carl Hirschmann, is represented by > Dr. Daniel Glasl.Link: Media release of the Federal Supreme Court (PDF - in German)
