Success Story 11։ FOICA Created a Positive Court Practice in the FOI Field

Initiating 37 court cases on FOI from 2005 to 2012, the Freedom of Information Center created a positive court practice in the FOI field. 75% of court cases initiated by the FOICA have had a positive outcome: in some cases, the Court made a decision in favor of the Freedom of the Freedom of Information Center, in other cases the body, which had violated the FOI right, restored the violated right until the end of the trial by providing the information which became a subject of a court case.

In 14 court cases out of 37 initiated by the FOICA, the respondent having violated the right to freedom of information, on its initiative provided the requested information until the end of the trial. This shows that the court cases initiated by the FOICA have also preventive significance.

It should be noted that the Freedom of Information Center implements strategic litigation: court cases are chosen in such a way that they have precedential value, and resolve the key issues of the FOI sphere. Another specific of the court cases initiated by the FOICA is that through judicial procedure FOI precedents are established not only in state bodies but also in political parties and organizations of public importance (https://foi.am/en/all-cases/).
