Sintesi Omnilex

The Federal Administrative Court admitted the revision. It held that the case presents a question of fundamental importance: whether an action seeking access to secret facts must be dismissed if the court cannot assess disclosure-refusal grounds without inspecting the disputed records and the claimant, after a withholding declaration under § 99(1) sentence 2 VwGO, does not seek in-camera review under § 99(2) VwGO.

Massima Omnilex

§ 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO; admission of revision for fundamental importance in access-to-information disputes involving withheld files. A question is of fundamental importance where the appeal proceedings can clarify an unresolved issue of general significance for the development and uniform application of the law. This is especially so where it remains open whether a claim for access to secret facts must be dismissed if the existence of disclosure-refusal grounds cannot be established without inspection of the files and the claimant does not initiate the procedure under § 99(2) VwGO after a withholding declaration under § 99(1) sentence 2 VwGO (consid. 1).

Revisionszulassung; Auskunftsverweigerung; Geheimhaltung

Gründe

1 Die Revision ist gemäß § 132 Abs. 2 Nr. 1 VwGO wegen grundsätzlicher Bedeutung des Rechtsstreits zuzulassen. Das angestrebte Revisionsverfahren kann zur Beantwortung der bisher in der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverwaltungsgerichts nicht ausreichend geklärten Frage beitragen, ob die auf Auskunft gerichtete Klage über geheim gehaltene Tatsachen zwingend abzuweisen ist, wenn das Vorliegen von Auskunftsverweigerungsgründen aus der Sicht des Gerichts nicht ohne Einsicht in die streitgegenständlichen Unterlagen zu klären ist und der Kläger nach einer Sperrerklärung gemäß § 99 Abs. 1 Satz 2 VwGO bezüglich dieser Unterlagen einen Antrag nach § 99 Abs. 2 VwGO nicht stellt.
