Chapter 2
Provision of assistance
Section 14
Decisions to refuse assistance and appeal
The decision to refuse assistance by virtue of section 12, paragraph 1 shall be made by the Ministry of Justice. In other cases the decision not to comply with the request for assistance shall be made by the authority competent to execute the request. Where the request for assistance has been transmitted to the Ministry of Justice as the Central Authority, the Ministry may, instead of transmitting the request to the competent authority, decide that assistance shall be refused where it is evident that the request cannot be complied with.
Where the court of first instance has decided not to comply with the request for assistance, the Ministry of Justice may submit the matter to the Court of Appeal. Where the Court of Appeal decides that the assistance requested shall be refused, the Ministry of Justice may directly submit the matter to the Supreme Court. In other cases a decision to the refuse assistance shall not be subject to appeal.
