Right of reply
Last updated: July 26, 2026
Any person named or implicitly identified in content published on Banger may exercise a right of reply, in accordance with Articles 36 to 49 of the amended Luxembourg law of 8 June 2004 on freedom of expression in the media (as amended by the law of 8 July 2024, which expressly extends it to online publications).
Who may act - Any natural or legal person named or implicitly identified, provided they can show a personal interest.
Deadline - The request must reach the editor no later than the ninetieth (90th) day after the content was made available to the public.
Form - The legal channel is a registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt addressed to the editor (contact details: see Legal notice; the postal address is provided without delay upon request to contact@banger.lu). The online form below is an additional facility offered by the newsroom: it is timestamped and handled in the same way, but does not replace the registered-letter channel if you wish to formally preserve your rights.
Content of the request - The request identifies the content (URL and date), the passages concerned and the text of the requested reply, dated and signed. The length of the reply is proportionate to the information at issue and never exceeds 1,000 characters (Art. 42).
Free of charge - Publication of the reply is free (Art. 36).
Publication - The reply is made available to the public within three (3) working days of receipt (Art. 44), under conditions similar to the content at issue, presented as a right of reply, accessible from the content concerned and for as long as that content remains available (Art. 43).
Refusal - Publication may only be refused in the cases exhaustively provided by law (Art. 41), notably: a reply unrelated to the information at issue, excessive length, content contrary to law or morals, unnecessary implication of third parties, or a reply written in a language other than that of the content. Any refusal is reasoned.
Remedies - Failing publication within the legal deadline, the applicant may apply to the president of the district court, ruling as in summary proceedings (Arts. 46 to 49).
