VBGÖ
Art. 6 VBGÖ · Interessenabwägung zwischen dem Schutz der Privatsphäre Dritter und öffentlichem Interesse am Zugang
Stehen bei der Beurteilung eines Zugangsgesuches öffentliche Interessen am Zugang dem Recht einer Drittperson auf Schutz ihrer Privatsphäre entgegen, so kann die zuständige Behörde ausnahmsweise nach einer Interessenabwägung den Zugang gewähren.
Das öffentliche Interesse am Zugang kann namentlich überwiegen, wenn: a. die Zugänglichmachung einem besonderen Informationsinteresse der Öffentlichkeit dient, insbesondere aufgrund wichtiger Vorkommnisse; b. die Zugänglichmachung dem Schutz spezifischer öffentlicher Interessen dient, insbesondere dem Schutz der öffentlichen Ordnung und Sicherheit oder der öffentlichen Gesundheit; oder c. die Person, deren Privatsphäre durch die Zugänglichmachung beeinträchtigt werden könnte, zu einer dem Öffentlichkeitsgesetz unterstehenden Behörde in einer rechtlichen oder faktischen Beziehung steht, aus der ihr bedeutende Vorteile erwachsen.
