Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the redacted disclosure of the French request breached the applicant's right to be heard under Art. 80b EIMP.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The applicant received such a heavily censored version of the request that it could not understand the object and purpose of the request or effectively challenge double criminality and proportionality.
Extrahierte Begründung
The secrecy interest invoked was not sufficient; the references to the relevant person were already public, no other protected interest was shown, and the essential content of the redacted passages was not communicated.
