The meaning of this is that while the court dismissed the RTC's motion for secrecy, it nevertheless did apply secrecy on the material with consideration of the possible damage to RTC. It is a pity that these requests were not handled by the primary court; that court would most certainly not have denied them, but is now indirectly bound by the decision of the court of appeals. As I wrote earlier, such a decision can be appealed against, but only by the parties that made the request. Not being one of them I can do nothing about it. Neither can I make a similar request in order to get the possibility to appeal, because being a party in the "main process" I am always entitled to copies of the file. A decision to grant a request from me would thus not have bearing on how the requests of others are handled. But I am sure that some third party with good legal resources will ask for a copy and have the denial tried. If you are a Swedish journalist or lawyer reading this, this is the time for you to act. Ask for a copy of file attachment 37 in the Stockholm primary court case T 7-866-96 and bring a denial all the way up to the supreme administrative court (regeringsrätten). Make the precedent.
