Algorithm as public information in European law

The author verifies the hypothesis concerning the possibility of treating algorithms – used in automated decision-making applied in the public sector – as information subject to the right of access to information or the right of access to official documents in European law. She demonstrates the problems related to the approach to these rights in the European Union and the lack of consistency of the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union with the case law of the European Court of Human Rights.
