Honoralia has achieved a significant legal victory by obtaining a ruling that reinforces the right to honor and reputation in the digital realm, compelling Google to remove several defamatory reviews from the Google Business Profile of one of its clients. Attorney Javier Jornet Ramírez from Honoralia successfully persuaded the judge to declare that there was no criminal activity attributed to the company’s administrator, who had been unjustly accused of crimes he did not commit.
The conflict arose earlier this year when a series of negative comments appeared on the platform, authored by individuals who were not real customers. These false comments were harmful to both the corporate and personal image of the administrator. Following Google’s inaction to resolve the issue, Honoralia decided to take legal action, invoking the right to honor as stipulated in the Civil Procedure Law and the Organic Law on the Protection of Honor.
After presenting compelling evidence that demonstrated the falsity of the reviews and the innocence of the administrator, the court issued a ruling that not only ordered the immediate removal of the defamatory comments but also completely exonerated the administrator of any criminal charges, awarding the affected company a compensation of 3,000 euros.
Javier Jornet highlighted that this ruling represents a milestone in the defense of online reputation, emphasizing the necessity for digital platforms to take action against the use of defamatory content. In a context where a single review can severely impact a business’s operations, protecting the honor of companies and their leaders becomes essential.
With this decision, Honoralia sets a precedent that could facilitate the defense of other companies against damages caused by false reviews. The firm also advises businesses to monitor their digital profiles and document evidence that refutes unfounded comments, as well as seek specialized advice in digital law and honor protection. Honoralia has established itself as a pioneering firm in this field in Spain, boasting over a decade of experience in protecting the digital image of individuals and companies.
