A public authority shall not allow the applicant to exercise the right to access
information of public importance, if it would thereby:
1) Expose to risk the life, health, safety or another vital interest of a person;
2) Imperil, obstruct or impede the prevention or detection of criminal offence,
indictment for criminal offence, pretrial proceedings, trial, execution of a sentence
or enforcement of punishment, any other legal proceeding, or unbiased treatment
and a fair trial;
3) Seriously imperil national defense, national and public safety, or international
relations;
4) Substantially undermine the government's ability to manage the national
economic processes or significantly impede the fulfillment of justified economic
interests;
5) Make available information or a document qualified by regulations or an official
document based on the law, to be kept as a state, official, business or other secret,
i.e. if such a document is accessible only to a specific group of persons and its
disclosure could seriously legally or otherwise prejudice the interests that are
protected by the law and outweigh the access to information interest.
