"The Dutch sceptics group, Vereniging tegen de Kwakzalverij (VtdK — The Society against Quackery) have managed to overturn an important court ruling that was preventing them calling quacks *quacks*. In a remarkable case, that in many ways closely parallels the BCA vs. Simon Singh case in the UK, a judge has decided that using a narrow definition of the word 'Quack' that a previous ruling was forcing the group to defend in a libel case, was incompatible with Article 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights."
