Summary/Abstract: Press correction is a special way to defend personality rights on the basis of civil law. Its main point is that if someone states or rumours a false fact, or makes a fact appear as untrue about a person in a given publication, the affected person has the right to submit his claim – as soon as possible – in order to have a rectifying communication be given out in the particular publication which shows that what part of the injurious publication states false, unfounded facts or makes a fact appear as untrue and on the contrary what is the reality. If the publisher does not satisfy its duty to correct the injurious publication from its own will, the affected person – in a short period – has the right to enforce his claim to the press correction in an anticipatory procedure which allows only restricted production of evidence.
