B r a z i l 8. RIGHT
TO A GOOD NAME, TO PRIVACY, TO OWN IMAGE There is no clear legal definition of the right to good name
or privacy in civil law. However, Article 5 item X of the Constitution
states that punitive damages may be awarded when intimacy, privacy,
good name or own image of persons is violated. The damages that
may be obtained by civil action for defamation or slander are set
out in the Civil Code, whose Article 1547 states that indemnity
in the case of slander or libel shall consist of payment of damages
resulting from it to the offended party.
