Dentons has provided pro bono representation to blogger Jan Bencik in a defamation dispute regarding an article in the Zem a Vek magazine.
According to Dentons, “the Bratislava District Court ruled that the publisher of Zem a Vek must apologize to Bencik and pay him EUR 33,000 in damages. The court found that an article published by the magazine contained false allegations against Jan Bencik. The article claimed that he exposed Slovaks fighting illegally in the territory of eastern Ukraine by publishing an article on his online blog in the Slovak newspaper Dennik N.”
Dentons’ team included Partner Peter Kubina and Counsel Miroslava Jesikova.
