民眾黨立法院黨團主任陳智菡2024年間針對新竹馬偕兒童醫院BOT案,公開指稱前新竹市長林智堅曾承諾將容積率從250%提高至450%,遭前新竹市長林智堅提告求償200萬元,一審判陳智菡須賠償30萬元。案經上訴,高等法院今(11日)認為,陳智菡發言前已盡合理查證義務,且有相當理由相信內容為真,改判免賠,林智堅可上訴。

林智堅主張,陳智菡於2024年9月10日接受媒體聯訪時,明知新竹馬偕兒童醫院BOT案容積率由250%調升至450%並無違法,卻僅憑法院刑事裁定中,當時的新竹馬偕醫院院長在董事會上的片面陳述,公開指稱他曾在餐會中承諾,可以讓容積率從250%提高至450%。

陳智菡當時表示,相關訴訟判決書可證實林智堅確實做出承諾,且是「經過法院認證的」。

林智堅認為,這番言論與事實不符,已嚴重損害其社會評價及名譽,因此提起民事訴訟,請求精神慰撫金200萬元。

一審台北地院審理後,判陳智菡應賠償林智堅30萬元,其餘請求駁回;陳智菡不服判決提起上訴,林智堅也針對敗訴部分提起附帶上訴。

高院合議庭審理後認為,陳智菡的言論雖有貶損林智堅社會評價的效果,但其發言並非毫無根據;根據相關資料,馬偕醫療財團法人在新竹市政府尚未正式核准調升容積率前,就已以450%作為開發規劃及工程預算編列基礎,且新竹市政府事後確實審議通過,將容積率提高至450%。

此外,高院參酌內政部都市計畫委員會副主任委員在審議該案時的發言,以及法院先前刑事裁定內容,該裁定記載,時任新竹馬偕醫院蘇姓院長於2018年8月30日董事會中,面對董事質疑為何以450%容積率編列興建預算時,曾公開表示林智堅保證該案容積率可調升至450%。

高院合議庭認定,陳智菡是依據上述資料發表相關言論,已經過合理查證,且有相當理由相信內容為真,因此可阻卻違法性,不須負擔侵害名譽的損害賠償責任。

高院撤銷一審針對陳智菡賠償30萬元的判決,駁回林智堅一審全部請求及附帶上訴,改判陳智菡免賠,全案陳智菡不得上訴,林智堅仍可上訴。

Probation revoked! The former president of the High Court illegally checked 134 personal information and was sentenced to jail in the second instance

Chen Yinan, the retired former president of the High Court, was suspected of making 134 illegal searches of personal information. The first instance sentenced him to a prison sentence of 2 years, a suspended sentence of 3 years, and a payment of NT$300,000. After the prosecutor appealed, the High Court today (11th) changed the sentence to 2 years and 6 months. Because the sentence of more than 2 years did not meet the requirements for probation, Chen Yinan must serve his sentence in prison. The whole case can still be appealed.

Who will pay for the fake goods bought in the live broadcast room? Typical cases clarify the responsibilities of merchants, anchors and platforms

The Supreme People's Court released a typical case of live broadcast sales: consumers bought fake facial cream on the recommendation of the anchor, and the anchor promised to "compensate four for every fake one". The court ruled that the seller should refund four times the value of the goods, and the live broadcast promoter should bear joint and several liability. The online platform did not bear joint liability for compensation because it fulfilled its audit obligations and did not make a commitment.
