“政府信息不存在”中合理检索义务标准研究

Research on the Standard of Reasonable Retrieval Obligation in“Non-Existent Government Information”

“政府信息不存在”指的是对被拒绝的政府信息公开请求作出的回应方式。通过引入最高人民法院的101号指导案例,并对该案的一审、二审裁判思路进行分析,以此引出行政机关的“合理审查义务”。在实践中司法机关对“合理”的审查并没有一个统一具体的标准。本文通过对相关案件中法院的审判标准进行分析,得出一个较客观的审查标准,包括检索的载体、检索主体和检索方法三个方面。以此来进一步推动法治政府建设,保障公民的知情权,维护司法机关的公信力。

“Government information does not exist”refers to the manner of responding to a denied request for government information.Through the introduction of the Supreme People’s Court’s Guiding Case No.101,and the analysis of the first and second-instance decisions of the case,the“duty of reasonable examination”of the administrative organ is drawn out.In practice,there is no uniform and specific standard for the judicial organ to review“reasonable”.This paper analyses the trial standards of the court in the relevant cases and comes up with a more objective review standard,including the carrier of the search,the search subject,and the search method of the three aspects.In this way,the rule of law can be further promoted,safeguard the citizens’right to know,and maintain the credibility of the judiciary.
