CJEU to answer questions about Right to be delisted

French court the Conseil d’Etat has requested the European Court of Justice for a preliminary ruling on a series of questions concerning the implementation of the right to be delisted from search results.

The right to be delisted is not absolute. Insofar as the removal of links from the list of results displayed following a search made on the basis of a person’s name may have consequences on the legitimate interest of internet users to receive access to information, the European Court of Justice proceeds to strike a balance between such interest and the person’s fundamental rights, in particular the right to private life and to the protection of personal data.
