Section 49

Inspection of the files by the person concerned and by the administrative authority

(1) The administrative authority grants the person concerned on request inspection of the files insofar as the purpose of the investigation, including in a different set of criminal or regulatory fining proceedings, cannot be endangered, and no third persons have opposing and overriding interests that are worthy of protection. In the event that the files are not kept in electronic form, copies from the files may be provided in place of the inspection of the files.

(2) Where the public prosecution office is the prosecuting authority, the administrative authority that would otherwise have jurisdiction is entitled to inspect the files which have been submitted to the court, or which would have to be submitted in court proceedings, as well as to inspect secured and seized items. Upon application, files which are kept in paper form are sent to the administrative authority for inspection.
