Compact Ruling Protects Press Freedom
- The Compact court ruling is a win for press freedom but has complex legal and political implications.
- It clears press organs like Compact from bans even if they hold controversial views, affirming rights for all, including perceived constitutional foes.
Legal Ambiguity After Court Decision
- The court avoided setting clear legal boundaries on political bans, leaving a precarious situation.
- The ruling risks undermining legal certainties, allowing state authorities to potentially overreach against politically dissenting groups.
Broad Definition of 'Club' Risky
- The court's assessment redefines what constitutes a 'club' under association law in a loose way.
- This interpretation risks arbitrarily banning informal gatherings without formal statutes, threatening freedom of association.
