Michael Schumacher’s lawyer explains why there’s no “final report” on the F1 icon’s health

The condition of Schumacher has rema💃ined a private matter following his skiing accident on December 29, 2013.
The German suffered a near-fatal brain injury a꧃nd has not been seen publicly since the aforementioned accident.
Since then, Schumacher has been recovering at his home in🐽 Switzerland.
Very few details have been released about the seven-꧒time worldꦉ champion’s condition.

In an interview with German media outlet , Damm explained why the S🎉chumacher family opted not to ꧅release a “final report” about Michael’s health.
“It was always about protecting private things,” he said. “We considereౠd whether a final report about Michael’s health could be the right way to do this.
“But that wouldn’t have been the end of it and there would have had to꧒ be constantly u💃pdated ‘water level reports’ and it would not have been up to the family when the media interest in the story stopped.”
Damm 📖believes had the report been released, the family would have been put under more scrutiny and pressure to share further updates as time progressed.
“They [the media] could pick up on such a report again and again and as ‘and what does it look like now?’ one, two, three months or years after the message,” he added. “If we then wanted to take action against this reporting, we would have to deal🍰 with t⛦he argument of voluntary self-disclosure.
“If it is not the 🌟person concerned himself but friends or acquaintances who disclose private information, it is not a case of ‘voluntary self-disclosure’ of privacy.
“Therefore, the data subject can defend himself against di𝓰sclosure of private circumstances even if the information comes from an acquaintance.”
