The dispute over the construction of a new prison for Saxony and Thuringia in Zwickau has now reached the courts. Specifically, it is about access to all construction documents on a server. Following the termination of the contract with the general planner, there is a dispute over access to this server, the Zwickau district court announced. The server was not operated by the general planner, but by a third company with which the state of Saxony, as the client, had no contract. It was therefore denied access. This is why the state went to court.
In a preliminary decision, a civil chamber ruled on Friday that the planner is not obliged to agree to the state taking over the project server. However, it must make the data available to the state via a new server. The existing contract with the server operating company may not be terminated until a legally binding decision has been made in the main proceedings. According to the court, the state has a claim to all documents created following the termination of the contract with the general planner.
