問 13
Incorrectア
Legislative documents prepared and held by legislative bodies such as the Diet fall outside the scope of disclosure requests under the Information Disclosure Act, which targets administrative bodies. Information disclosure by legislative bodies is handled under a separate framework, such as the rules of each House.
Incorrectイ
Judicial documents prepared and held by judicial bodies such as the Supreme Court are likewise outside the scope of disclosure requests under the Information Disclosure Act, which targets administrative bodies. Viewing court records and the like is governed by separate systems such as procedural law.
Incorrectウ
Even for a company listed on a stock exchange, the internal corporate documents that a private company prepares and holds are not administrative documents and are not subject to disclosure requests under the Information Disclosure Act. Disclosure by listed companies is governed by separate systems such as the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act.
- エ
正解 The formal name of the Information Disclosure Act is “Act on Access to Information Held by Administrative Bodies,” and its scope covers administrative documents that national administrative bodies (ministries and agencies such as the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) prepare and hold in the course of their duties. To guarantee the people’s right to know and to increase the transparency of government administration, anyone can request the disclosure of these administrative documents. Therefore, エ, which lists administrative documents prepared and held by administrative bodies, is appropriate.
- The Information Disclosure Act (formal name: “Act on Access to Information Held by Administrative Bodies”) is a system under which anyone can request the disclosure of administrative documents held by national administrative bodies.
- Keep in mind the distinction: the scope covers administrative bodies, while documents of legislative bodies, judicial bodies, and private companies fall outside the scope.
