About this statute

The Court says these provisions should not be read as blocking a lawyer from seeing the refusal to open a criminal case and the supporting materials, even if they contain operational-search state secrets, when the lawyer represents a person seeking a case because a close relative died. Authorized officials must use only verifiable operational-search information when deciding whether to open a criminal case, and must take steps so the review file contains only legally necessary information and avoids conflicts with state-secret protection and the complainant’s access rights.
