What Article 144¹¹ covers
Article 144¹¹ of the Georgian Code of Administrative Offences combines two rather different situations into a single provision. The first is a breach of the rules on placing information harmful to a child on the internet, and of the rules on children's access to the internet network in general education institutions, libraries and specialised children's institutions. The second is failure to comply with a decision of the body holding the relevant supervisory power. These two grounds are alternatives: neither depends on the other, and each on its own is enough to found liability. That structural point matters from the first day of a case, because the first thing to establish is which ground the protocol is actually built on — the content itself, or the failure to comply with a decision. The defence runs along completely different lines in each situation, and material that is decisive for one is often irrelevant to the other.
