Case No. CO-2850-2005

Necessary in a democratic society

95.In my judgment, the defendant has failed to demonstrate any “pressing social need” for the decision. The first claimant and its predecessor have advertised North Cyprus as a holiday destination for twenty years. In 1999 and in November 2004 the first claimant advertised successfully on London transport without any complaint being made to it.96.The decision is, in any event, disproportionate. It bans all advertisements for North Cyprus on all property controlled by the defendant from any source at any time.
