Abstract
What is the application practice in relation to the anonymisation of court decisions published online? After a brief theoretical introduction, in which the paper introduces the essence of anonymization and its connection with current legal provisions, it will introduce specific methods of anonymization applied in court decisions. Special attention will be paid to pseudonymization, which is relatively inconsistent, and its research offers numerous possibilities.
The research (in corpus of 500 court decisions) showed the types of pseudonyms used in juvenile participants (accused, injured, witnesses). Results: a) Initials - ,, in favor of obv. ml.
M. B.", b) Initial - "Juvenile D.", c) Multiplication of false initials - "juvenile" X.
Y. "and juvenile" XX. YY. ", d) 1 letter - "minors" X "", e) 5 letters - ,, ml.
AAAAA ", f) Tree pseudonyms - ,, namely "BUKU", g) Floral pseudonyms "juvenile tulip", h) combination - "accused juveniles" tulip "and X". Main shortcomings were disunity, incomprehensibility, inadequacy and opacity of these pseudonyms.
Recommendation for pseudonymization application practice: uniformity - abbreviation and numerical designation (om1, om2..., pm1, s1)
