Key legal question
Whether access to the interviewee list could be denied under cantonal information-access rules despite the constitutional right of access to official records.
Extracted holding
The refusal was unlawful; the applicant had to be granted access to the list.
Extracted reasoning
The list was an official record. The private interest in secrecy was limited because the publication concerned only participation, not interview content, and the study contained no concrete attributable statements. Any public interest in protecting research did not outweigh the access right.
