Chapter Nine VIEWING OF CASE RECORDS
258. (Viewing of case records, etc.)
1. A party or a third party who has established to a preliminary showing his/her legal
interest in the case may ask the court for permission to view or copy case records,
or may request delivery of authenticated copies, certified copies or excerpts
thereof, or delivery of an official certification of matters related to the case.
Authenticated copies, certified copies or excerpts of case records shall indicate
thereon that they comprise authenticated copies, certified copies or excerpts, and
shall be signed by the court clerk.
2. The provisions of Paragraph 1 shall not apply to those audio tapes, videotapes or
other media on which certain matters are recorded using an equivalent method that
are attached to the case record. In such a case, where a party or third party who has
established to a preliminary showing his/her legal interest in the case makes a
request with regard to such media, the court must permit the duplication thereof.
3. Where [compliance with] a request for viewing, transcription or duplication would
hinder the maintenance of case records or the court's performance of its duties, the
request shall be denied.
