Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the refusal to disclose the judges’ day fees under the Zurich Information and Data Protection Act was lawful.
Decisione estratta
The refusal was upheld because disclosure would reveal individual workload information and could impair judicial independence; the court found an overriding public interest in secrecy.
Motivazione estratta
A single fee figure is an unreliable performance indicator, but its disclosure could create pressure on judges and influence future case handling; the cantonal court was therefore not arbitrary in relying on § 23 IDG.
