The Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court scheduled the appeal hearing for November 13 in Freiburg, as the court announced on its website on Thursday evening. (Case: 14 U 620/22). Becker (55) failed in November last year with a civil lawsuit against Pocher (45) at the Offenburg district court. The court argued at the time that the ex-tennis professional was not violated in his personal rights by a TV report from the RTL program “Pocher – dangerously honest” from October 2020.
According to his lawyer, Becker demanded that the post no longer be sent and deleted from the Internet. The former tennis star had challenged the Offenburg verdict. The Higher Regional Court did not order the personal appearance of the plaintiff and the defendant, the statement said. A final decision cannot be expected at that date. In the text of the message, Becker is referred to as “an internationally renowned former professional tennis player”. The family name Becker is mentioned in the headline.
