The “Tied Key” anti-award in the category “Most absurd and funniest administrative decision related to an access to information request” went to Chief Inspector Teodora Tochkova and the Inspectorate at the Supreme Judicial Council (ISJC) for the fact that instead of abiding by the Administrative Court – City Sofia’s (ACSC) decision to disclose data on a particular case of public-wide interest, Chief Inspector Tochkova made an appeal to the Supreme Administrative Court for annulment of the ACCG's decision. (The so called “TSUM-Gate affair” was a scandalous case related to a meeting between former Prosecutor General Sotir Tsatsarov, gas sector businessman and newspaper publisher Sasho Donchev and businessman and ex-chair of Bulgarian Socialist Party Georgi Gergov. The ISJC had to disclose information on its checks made in relation to this meeting).

Tochkova made the aforementioned appeal on the grounds that the case was heard in two court hearings without a representative of the ISJC. Actually, the case was delayed twice due to ISJC's fault – the first time due to the leave of a legal adviser who had to look after their child at home during the Covid-19 lockdown, and the second time because two legal advisers were working from home on the exact day of the hearing.
