The Accessibility Ordinance (ordinance on the barrier-free accessibility of documents for blind and visually impaired persons in court proceedings, abbreviated ZMV) regulates the requirements and the procedure in Germany to make documents accessible to blind and visually impaired persons (authorized persons) in a court proceeding in a form they can perceive close.
The right to access and the basis of the ordinance result from § 191a GVG .
