O Tribunal Europeu de Direitos Humanos decidiu a favor da Associated Newspapers Limited, a editora do Daily Mail, afirmando que exigir que a empresa pague "taxas de sucesso" aos advogados que venceram casos contra eles violava seu direito à liberdade de expressão. The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Daily Mail, stating that requiring the company to pay "success fees" to lawyers who won cases against them violated their right to freedom of expression. O tribunal considerou as taxas desproporcionais e ordenou que o governo do Reino Unido pagasse à empresa 15 mil em custos. The court found the fees were disproportionate and ordered the UK government to pay the company €15,000 in costs. A decisão sobre a taxa de sucesso maior será tomada mais tarde. A decision on the larger success fee will be made later.
