Zakres obowiązków organów samorządu terytorialnego związanych z realizacją poselskiego prawa do informacji (wybrane zagadnienia)

Deputies have access to information concerning the content of contracts concluded by a municipality also when, certain information included in these contracts was marked by a clause excluding their disclosure due to a business secret of a party to the contract. Exceptions to this rule are set out in Article 35 of the Act on Public Finances. Refusal to reply to a Deputy’s questions will be justified only in a case, when, following to an independent assessment of an authority applying the said provisions, information covered by the contractual clause falls within that exclusion.
