French Supreme Court puts a final end to the Barbarin case
It is with immense satisfaction that our founding partner André Soulier learnt that the appeal filed by certain members of the association La Parole Libérée against the January 30, 2020 decision of the Lyon Court of Appeals of Lyon to acquit Cardinal Barbarin, former Archbishop, had been dismissed.
It is fortunate and salutary to see that the Cour de Cassation (French Supreme Court) recalled the importance of the concept of personality and the strict interpretation of criminal law.
