Case number: n° 06PA03399

Country

France

Case Description: M. Claude A was conducting historical research specifically focused on antisemitism within the Breton regionalist movement between 1930 and 1944. In September 2000, he requested a derogation to access nine dossiers from military court proceedings initiated after the Liberation against Breton autonomists,. Under the law applicable at the time, court records were subject to a 100-year secrecy period from the date of the act or the closing of the file. The Minister of Defense refused the derogation on April 2, 2001, arguing that the sensitivity of the files outweighed the research interest,. Although the Tribunal administratif de Melun initially annulled this refusal in 2003, the Minister of Defense appealed the decision. Ruling on the merits, the court acknowledged the seriousness and interest of M. A's historical research. However, it noted that the documents requested contained numerous personal names and sensitive information regarding the post-war Purge period. The Court annulled the lower court's judgment and rejected M. A's request to overturn the Minister's refusal.
