The Supreme Court quashed the administrative court's decision to dismiss a publisher's request for access to an internal audit committee protocol. The court found that the lower administrative body failed to examine whether the information was genuinely secret, merely relying on a regulation that excluded public sessions. Consequently, the Supreme Court ordered the case remitted for a proper review of the legality of the secrecy classification.
