10 The King may by regulations provide for exemption from access in respect of documents in archival repositories when this is necessary on conservation grounds. Chapter 4 Procedure and appeal Section 28 Request for access Requests for access may be made orally or in writing. A request for access must relate to a specific case or within reasonable limits to cases of a specific type. This does not apply where access is requested to a journal or similar register. Section 29 Administrative agency responsible for deciding a request for access, etc. An administrative agency that receives a request for access shall consider the request on a concrete and independent basis.

Section 31 Refusal and justification for the same Refusal of a request for access shall be in writing. An administrative agency shall always indicate the section on which the refusal was based, and any further subdivision of that section that has been applied.
