Greifswald (dpa/mv) - The Higher Administrative Court of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has criticized the state government's digital file management in connection with a norm control procedure. "If that's the advantage of digitization, then I can only say: Good night!" Said presiding judge Klaus Sperling on Tuesday at the hearing of a lawsuit against two Corona regulations. Keeping the files is not the subject of the hearing. "But the Senate wanted to get rid of it."
The court had been provided with 26,000 digital pages of files, which were often repeated. The Senate had to scroll through the documents for hours and could not see any sensible form of file management. "You won't find anything there," says Sperling. He made an "urgent appeal" to the legal representative of the state government in the hearing to pass on to Schwerin that it would not work like that. "Nobody would think of keeping administrative files in paper form."
