要求《每日邮报》出版商收取“成功费用”的欧洲法院规则违反了言论自由。 European court rules that requiring 'success fees' from Daily Mail publisher violates free speech.

欧洲人权法院作出有利于《每日邮报》出版商Associated Newspapers Limited的裁决,指出要求该公司向胜诉的律师支付“胜诉费”,这侵犯了他们的言论自由权。 The European Court of Human Rights ruled in favor of Associated Newspapers Limited, the publisher of the Daily Mail, stating that requiring the company to pay "success fees" to lawyers who won cases against them violated their right to freedom of expression. 法院认定这些费用不成比例,并命令联合王国政府向该公司支付15 000欧元的费用。 The court found the fees were disproportionate and ordered the UK government to pay the company €15,000 in costs. 稍后将就更大的成功费作出决定。 A decision on the larger success fee will be made later.
