Hopefully, there will never be a need to file an appeal.

Making a successful right to be forgotten application

Our particular speciality is the submission of right to be forgotten applications in relation to individuals who have been investigated, charged and tried by criminal courts and who have been found not guilty by the jury. Other successful right to be forgotten applications submitted by our dedicated team were submitted on behalf of celebrities and other individuals who are in the public eye or whose legal cases or past conduct attracted media attention for various reasons.

Implications of right to be forgotten submissions

When submitting a right to be forgotten application to remove news articles from Google in relation to a newspaper article that is published online, you must take into consideration the possibility that Google will inform the publishers, particularly mainstream news publishers, of your application.

You should therefore be ready for this eventuality and be prepared to object to any potential additional reporting by the newspaper. Generally speaking, it is not allowed for a news organisation to report about your right to be forgotten application. Our incredibly friendly and highly knowledgeable lawyers are happy to help and answer any right to be forgotten questions that you might have.
