[PASSED] Sunshine Act Disclosure for High Court Discussions
#1

Esteemed Legislators,

A few weeks ago I was reading the Sunshine Act, which says that discussions related to the High Court should be disclosed "no later than 6 months after the ruling or, if appealed, the ruling on the appeal, has been announced". I also noticed that, according to Article I, Section 3 of the Criminal Code, the Cabinet is the institution tasked with authorising the disclosure of private information not originated in the Assembly or the Council on Regional Security.

I am not sure whether the Court can disclose information, in compliance with the Sunshine Act, without Cabinet authorisation, which in itself would be quite burdensome. I felt the issue is ambiguous enough that a discussion was merited, to decide whether a legislative fix to clarify the issue would be in order.

Posts outside High Court venues should be taken as those of any other legislator.
I do not participate in the regional server, but I am happy to talk through instant messaging or on the forum.
