Abstract

This article is a voice of approval of the decision of the Supreme Administrative Court of 3 January 2012, Ref. Act: I OSK 2157/11. The ruling refers to the scope of public information that is available to the interested party. The court pointed out that public information could be invoices for services performed by private entities on behalf of public administrations. This ruling is part of anti-corruption strategies, based on transparency of the public life, and also supports the well-established case law, which treats public information very broadly. This results in an increase in the potential of the proactive investigation focused on cooperation with the community in the fight against corruption.
