The Administration, in order to perform the administrative activities, is obliged to provide the information to the public or, to investigate the facts and legal issues. According to the analysis of Japanese cases, these obligations are imposed not only on the base of the provisions of the law, but also on the base of Jori(unwritten law). It is supposed that the breach of these obligations results in a government liability, and, especially after the amendment by the New Administrative Litigation Law of 2004, may be controlled by other administrative litigation.
