A key issue

A case key is a document classification system used to ensure the correct context of information, so that documents that concern the same case and describe the same case are found in the same location. A case key applies to documents in the document class of a case library but does not cover other document classes in the library of a delivery party. The use of a case key is mandatory for delivery parties.

A key case ensures that the context of cases is clear, i.e. that documents relating to the same project coincide in a class in a case library. This should ensure that all documents confirming certain administrative decisions and events can be found, whether the documents are still in the custody of the person responsible for the delivery or after they have been delivered to a public archives for long-term preservation. This applies equally to paper and electronic documents.

Rules on the legal code of the delivery parties no. 572/2015 apply to its structure, validity and approval.
