Projects in 'Bermuda'

On 12 August 2011, the Bermuda Supreme Court declared Bermuda's criminal libel statute unconstitutional because it criminalises trivial and non-intentional libel, and lacks safeguards to prevent abuse. The Court referred to MLDI's submissions as "very helpful" and found the jurisprudence we cited "highly persuasive".

The case originated out of a dispute regarding comments uploaded onto Facebook. Criminal charges were brought against the poster of the comments, who in turn challenged the constitutionality of the country's criminal libel statute.
