By judgment of 09.10.2014 (The. 11 The 15/14) has the 11. Civil Chamber of the Landgericht Stuttgart rejected the claim of Daimler AG against the SWR.

The Daimler AG had wanted to achieve, that the SWR re-broadcast of the documentary "pittance on the assembly line - How tariffs are undermined" must refrain imagery used. An active for the SWR journalist had applied for the purpose of a covert investigation with a temporary employment agency. These borrowed it to another company, had signed with Daimler AG a contract for work on logistics services. So it came to the use of journalists in a production hall at Daimler AG in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim for packaging cylinder heads. During his tenure from 05. to 18.03.2013 made the journalist with four hidden cameras secretly recorded video footage and used it for the report, the most 13.05.2013 "The First" was broadcast on ARD program. The Daimler AG took the view, that the SWR this material should not radiate, because the procurement was unlawful, the video would not play unlawful conduct and Daimler AG will hurt by the charisma of the image material considerably in their personal rights.
