Case Summary: The Constitutional Court of Georgia struck down three provisions of the Regulation of the Georgian National Communications Commission that obliged internet domain issuers and internet service providers to restrict certain types of online speech. The claim was brought by Aleksandre Mdzinarashvili, a website owner who argued that the disputed provisions hindered his right to freely receive and impart information online. The Constitutional Court of Georgia ruled that the decision to impose content-based restrictions on online speech was a matter of high public interest and thus only the highest representative governmental body, which the Communications Commission was not, had the competency to impose them.

Case Significance: The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
