As the press representative of the court, Giedrius Janonis, told Elta, the court that rejected K. Krivickas’ claim against E. Jakilaičius in the civil case decided to award the latter the expenses incurred during the litigation.
“The court decided to reject the lawsuit and award 2,299 EUR of legal costs from the plaintiff Kristupas Augusta Krivickas in favor of the defendant Edmunds Jakilaitis,” said G. Janonis.
in 2023 October 18 K. Krivickas applied to the court with a lawsuit, which he later clarified, asking to recognize that certain statements about him spread by E. Jakilaitis are false, do not correspond to reality, and therefore humiliated his honor and dignity.
K. Krivickas appealed to the court regarding the following statements of E. Jakilaitis: “I hope that we will dig out all this shit. Such things happen because of begging, there is no one to check or evaluate. I believe that in the future we will manage, that the scumbags mocking state institutions and the state in general will no longer be in this organization”; “A smart move to delegate an anti-state parasite to the most important paramilitary organization”; “A person who calls for the non-execution of court decisions, who despises state institutions, cannot meet the criterion of an impeccable reputation.”
In his lawsuit, K. Krivickas also asked the court to oblige E. Jakilaitis to refute these statements in the same way as they were spread, that is, by publishing a refutation on the Facebook account of the Lithuanian Rifle Association or on his personal Facebook account.
The court was also asked to sentence K. Krivickis from E. Jakilaitis from 5 thousand. euros for non-pecuniary damage and litigation costs.
The court that rejected the claim concluded that E. Jakilaitis did not spread any knowledge, facts or data about K. Krivickas, but only expressed his personal opinion and presented his critical assessment, for which he had a reasonable and objective factual basis, formed by the plaintiff’s previous activities and statements in the public space basis.
“Thus, during the trial of this civil case, the plaintiff did not prove all the facts necessary to protect the plaintiff’s honor and dignity, therefore the plaintiff’s claim to recognize that the defendant’s publicly disseminated statements are false and untrue and humiliate the plaintiff’s honor and dignity shall be rejected as unfounded,” the court said.
The decision of the Vilnius City District Court can be appealed to the Vilnius District Court within 30 days, by filing an appeal through the Vilnius City District Court.
