Summary/Abstract: Permitted criticism being a result of reviews, journalistic polemics and in opinions and business characteristics does not constitute defamation. It must, however, meet the law and be consistent with social norms. Suppression of criticism is being regarded as an offense under article 44, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Act of the Press Law. The limits of the legality of criticism are set out in the article 41 of the Act. All satirical forms and caricatures remain under the protection of the Press Law. Violation of the limits of the legality of satire causes liability for the infringement of personal rights.
