A public authority shall not allow the applicant to exercise the right to access
information of public importance if the applicant is abusing the rights to access
information of public importance, especially if the request is irrational, frequent, when
the same or already obtained information is being requested again, or when too much
information is requested.
Privacy and Other Personal Rights
Article 14
A public authority shall not fulfill the applicant’s right to access information of public
importance if it would thereby violate the right to privacy, the right to reputation or any
other right of a person that is the subject of information, except if:
1) The person has agreed;
2) Such information regards a personality, phenomenon or event of public interest,
especially a holder of a state or political post, and is relevant with regard to the
duties that person is performing;
3) A person has given rise to a request for information about him/her by his/her
behaviour, especially regarding his/her private life.
III Access Procedure before a Public Authority
Request for Information, Insight, Duplication and Referral
Article 15
An applicant shall submit a request in writing to a public authority to exercise the
right to access information of public importance (hereinafter: request).
The request shall contain the name of the public authority, the full name and
surname and address of the applicant and as many specifics as possible of the sought
information.
The request may also contain other data that will facilitate the search for the
requested information.
The applicant need not list the reasons for the request.
If the request does not contain data in Para 2 of this Article, i.e. if the request is
deficient, the authorized person of the public authority shall be obliged to instruct the
applicant free of charge how to rectify the deficiencies in the request, i.e. to give the
applicant instructions on supplements.
In the event the applicant does not rectify the deficiencies within a specific
deadline, i.e. within 15 days upon receipt of the instructions on supplements, and the
deficiencies are such that they prevent the processing of the request, the public authority
shall reach a decision to dismiss the request as deficient.
The public authority is obliged to allow an applicant access to information when
the request is lodged orally, for the record, and such a request shall be specially recorded
and deadlines apply accordingly, as if the request was submitted in written form.
A public authority may prescribe a sample request form, but it shall also be
obliged to review requests that have not been lodged in that form.
