Question juridique clé
Whether the challenged article and Stauffer's communications constituted unlawful denigration under Art. 3 let. a LCD.
Solution extraite
The article of 31 January 2003 did not amount to denigration on the points in which Stauffer was involved; no unfair act was established against him.
Motifs extraits
The contested passages either merely reported a debt claim or reproduced Stauffer's own thesis without taking sides. A negative presentation is not enough; the publication must be inexact, fallacious, or unnecessarily offensive, which was not the case here.
