On April 8, 2013 FOICA filed a suit at the RA Administrative Court against the RA National Assembly, appealing the refusal of the RA NA regarding to the FOICA's request to receive the copies of the decrees by the Chairman of the RA NA. The NA claimed that the decrees contain the NA employee's personal data.

Back in 2012, on November 22, the FOICA had applied to the RA National Assembly with a written request asking to provide the copies of the decrees by the Chairman of the RA NA for the 1st half of 2012. More than 3 months after sending the request, the NA provided an incomplete answer: 12 copies of the decrees by the Chairman of the RA NA were not provided. On March 7, 2013, the FOICA sent another request to the RA National Assembly asking to provide the missing 12 copies of the decrees. But NA has refused to provide them, claiming that the decrees contain the NA employee's personal data.

Applying to the Court, the FOICA asked the Court to recognize the fact of violation of the right of FOICA to receive information and oblige the RA National Assembly to provide the requested information (more about this court case see here).

The court hearing will take place on July 3, 2013, at 12:00, in the RA Administrative Court (room 319).
