| Abstract [eng] |
Despite the fact that the inviolability of a person's private life is a universal legal principle, there is no clear concept of the category "inviolability of a person's private life". The inviolability of a person's private life is a rather broad and comprehensive concept, which includes, first of all, a complex of social relations that characterizes a person and a citizen as a subject with complete freedom. The research showed that there are not many decisions made by the Supreme Court of Lithuania regarding the collection, disclosure and use of information about a person's private life, therefore the court practice in examining cases of the above-mentioned type is still developing. District and district courts, when examining cases regarding the collection, disclosure and use of information about a person's private life, are guided by the decisions of the Supreme Court of Lithuania, but in some similar circumstances, the courts do not always evaluate the collected data in the same way and emphasize different objective and subjective signs. It should also be noted that the analysis of more recent cases shows that the courts rely more widely on the cases examined by the ECHR and the legal arguments of their decisions, quoting them when arguing and making their decisions. The analysis of judicial practice showed that the assessment of the circumstances surrounding the inviolability of a person's private life is difficult, but when analyzing the material collected during the final work, the author of the work found that there are currently no research guidelines (methodology) for the protection of the inviolability of a person's private life, which would help to more comprehensively examine cases and assess the totality of the circumstances. |
