Supreme Administrative Court rules in favour of KŠB client in important decision
The Municipal Office refused to disclose the bids. The Ministry of the Interior and the Municipal Court in Prague, in deciding on an administrative action, affirmed the Municipal Office’s approach. The Supreme Administrative Court, however, strongly rejected their conclusions. In its ruling on the client’s cassation complaint, the Court agreed with the objections which KŠB presented on behalf of its client. According to the ruling, the Czech Freedom of Information Act should be construed in harmony with the Directive of the European Parliament and the Council No. 2003/98/EC. As the Court stated, the directive requires public sector bodies to be transparent, which should also be reflected when interpreting the Czech act. Based on these facts, the Court came to the conclusion that the client’s request for the bids was justified.
