| Summary: | After CJEU’s decision in the case C‑ 131/12, Google Spain and
Inc., the national courts of the Member States have begun to rule on litigations on the digital right to be forgotten. Romanian courts were no exception regarding this new right of the data subjects. As such, this article aims to provide an example of the Romanian case law which involves a data subject who played a role in public life and the information in question was at the boundary between public and private life. In these circumstances, the Court has concluded that for its decision two aspects are essential, namely if the data is accurate and has actual relevance, and based the ruling on their analysis. This ruling might not be the most relevant one but it offers a glimpse into the Romanian case law on the digital right to be forgotten. |
