Article 7Discretionary Disclosure Due to Public Interest Grounds

第七条(公益上の理由による裁量的開示)

Even when non-disclosure information (excluding the information stated in Article 5, item (i)-2) is recorded in an administrative document related to a request for disclosure, if the head of an administrative organ finds that it is particularly necessary for public interest, they may disclose the administrative document to the disclosure requester.

行政機関の長は、開示請求に係る行政文書に不開示情報(第五条第一号の二に掲げる情報を除く。)が記録されている場合であっても、公益上特に必要があると認めるときは、開示請求者に対し、当該行政文書を開示することができる。
