Ethics

A reasoned value judgment regarding what is right. It is to be distinguished from law, which constitutes the body of rules enforced—and enforceable—by judges. It serves as an argument for drafting new rules and enables judges to give substance to open legal norms. Under the EHDS, a separate ethical assessment may be mandated in addition to the statutory assessment for secondary use. However, such an assessment must comply with the principles of legality, legal certainty, and equality, given that the permits and decisions issued in response to a request constitute administrative law decisions.
