Cantonal Library Document Access Denial Upheld

A party sought judicial review against a Cantonal Library and the Cantonal Government after the library denied access to specific documents requested under a cantonal freedom of information act, despite the requesting party being a resident, on the grounds that the documents related to a preliminary assessment of a law change and were thus exempt as internal deliberations. The court upheld the denial, reasoning that the requested documents, which were part of an initial internal process concerning potential legislative changes, fell under the recognized exemption for internal administrative deliberations necessary to protect the proper functioning and objectivity of the decision-making process, thus justifying the refusal to grant access.
