Information sheet on interpretation/application and revision of formal requirements in public law
Formal requirements (such as ‘in writing’) are cited as an obstacle to the end-to-end electronic handling of processes of all kinds. The information sheet is intended to support the Federal Administration in particular in recognising the scope for interpretation of public-law formal requirements and in making targeted use of it. If a formal requirement actually proves to be an obstacle, the information sheet is intended to facilitate a well-founded decision as to which aspects of the formal requirement must continue to be fulfilled and which modern means can be used to achieve that.
