政府信息公开“申请内容不明确”时“补正”的法律思考

Legal Thought on Correction to Indeterminate Application Content in Government Information Publicity

在依申请的政府信息公开中,明确的申请内容是政府信息公开工作启动的前提之一。行政机关不能简单的以申请不符合法定形式为由拒绝申请人的申请,因为我国现行法律赋予了申请人对申请内容补正的机会。在司法实践中,有关申请内容是否明确、申请人补正是否规范、行政机关对补正后的申请如何答复等问题,由于立法缺乏具体规定、司法经验相对匮乏等原因,尚需审判庭深入思考和审慎处理。

In the mechanism of applied information publicity, determinate application content is one of the prerequisites for the initiation. And, the administrative agents should not refuse applications simply for reason of not complying with legal forms, because chances of correction to the content are endowed to applicants by current laws. However in practice, due to facts of lacking detailed provisions and judicial experience, problems such as indeterminate content, nonstandard corrections and inconsistent response to applications after corrections, are still left for the court to think deeply and to deal cautiously.
