Episode 6 | Access to records and information at local authority level
The rule is: not everyone is allowed to ask anything at any time. Anyone currently involved in proceedings with the local authority – for example, regarding a planning application – has different rights to someone who simply wants to know what is going on behind the scenes. And then there is data protection: in practice, this is increasingly being used to obtain information that would no longer be accessible by other means.
The nucleus of democracy - municipal law with Dombert & Lück
Municipal law in an understandable, practical way and without paragraph-by-paragraph: In this podcast, the lawyers and specialist lawyers for administrative law speak Dr. Dominik Lück and Dr. Maximilian Dombert on the legal issues that cities, municipalities and municipal companies deal with on a daily basis.
As partners in the law firm Dombert Rechtsanwälte, they have been advising local authorities at the interface of law, politics and administration for many years. In their talks, they take you into their everyday professional lives, discuss current developments in municipal law and explain complex topics in such a way that they remain understandable even without a legal background.
This is because many of the major social issues are decided locally: Building and infrastructure projects, healthcare, the environment, schools, housing and municipal companies. It is precisely here - in the cities and municipalities - that the nucleus of democracy lies.
The podcast is aimed at local authorities, municipal companies, politicians and anyone who wants to understand how the law works at municipal level.
A podcast about local law, administration and politics - understandable, practical and with a look behind the scenes of municipal decision-making processes.
