When the lawyer acts in the performance of his duty of defence before the Courts, he shall be exercising directly just the free expression of thoughts and ideas as a qualified object of the right to freedom of expression, being a special category derived from the general category contained in article 20 of the Constitutional text. One of the main consequences of the exercise of such qualified freedom of expression is, without a doubt, the possible affectation of the honour of third parties, that could be affected by the assessment, reflection, opinion or rating issued by a lawyer in the course of the exercise of his function.
