Summary: The Dusseldorf Local Division partly granted a public request under R. 262.1(b) RoP for access to the file in the concluded proceedings UPC_CFI_226/2024. Because the main proceedings had ended, the applicant's general interest outweighed the Art. 45 UPCA interests and no specific interest had to be shown; access was granted to the statement of claim alone, with paragraphs 1 to 174 and 233 to 249 and all personal data redacted and the annexes excluded, the request being rejected for the remainder.
Show the legal issues (5)
- public access to the register under R. 262.1(b) RoP after the proceedings have concluded
- no need to show a specific interest once the case is closed
- balancing against the Art. 45 UPCA interests
- scope of access limited to what the stated purpose requires
- confidentiality request under R. 262.2 RoP and redaction of personal data
