Abstract
Description
<p>The ownership of the right to honor-more properly speaking, prestige, reputation-of legal entities has been admitted by Chilean civil doctrine and jurisprudence, as well as the fact that they may experience moral damage. An area of civil protection not addressed by this civil doctrine has fallen on lawsuits where the affectation to the right to honor of fictitious entities has originated from a journalistic report broadcast by a media. In this article we will address some singularities that exist with respect to the still scarce jurisprudence on civil actions in this area, on the applicable legal status and also with respect to some issues not yet pacified in Chilean tort law, such as the compensation of moral damages of such subjects of law.</p>
