swiss­blawg reports on a ruling by the Fede­ral Supre­me Courtwhich con­cer­ned a cla­im for access under Sec­tion 24 et seq. of the Zurich IDG. The can­to­nal aut­ho­ri­ties had wron­gly lin­ked access to the con­di­ti­on that parts of the report not be published on the inter­net. The­re is no legal basis for this. In con­trast, it was cor­rect to grant access only par­ti­al­ly in order to pro­tect third-par­ty inte­rests – in this case, mem­bers of the authorities.
