Author
Summary, in English
In 303 Creative LLC et al. v Elenis, the US Supreme Court held that the petitioners were entitled to refuse to provide wedding website services in respect of same sex weddings, and to post a notice on their website stating that they would not provide such services.
The case was framed as concerning the freedom of speech of the website designer (Ms Lorie Smith), although the main petitioner was not Ms Smith but 303 Creative LLC. As such, this case concerned the constitutional right to free speech of a company.
