Key takeaways
Access to all written pleadings and evidence requires a concrete, verifiable and legally relevant reason
A request according to Rule 262.1(b) RoP for access to written pleadings and evidence by a member of the public requires a concrete, verifiable and legally relevant reason. The reasons to be provided in the request must pertain to the reason(s) for access to the requested information per se. This applies regardless of whether there is confidential information contained in the written pleadings and evidence. To be informed of the proceedings for the purposes of education and training is not a legitimate reason.
