Convenience wrapper around ris_search_case_law() with application = "Pvak".

Usage

ris_search_pvak(
  query = NULL,
  business_number = NULL,
  norm = NULL,
  decision_date_from = NULL,
  decision_date_to = NULL,
  decision_type = NULL,
  deciding_authority = NULL,
  in_ris_since = NULL,
  search_decision_text = TRUE,
  search_legal_principles = TRUE,
  echo = FALSE,
  base_url = ris_base_url()
)

Arguments

query

Optional full-text query (Suchworte). Supports the RIS full-text operators (space/und = AND, OR/ODER = OR, nicht = NOT, * = wildcard, 'phrase' for exact phrase).

business_number

Optional business number (Geschaeftszahl).

norm

Optional legal norm query (Norm). Multiple norms can be combined with OR/ODER (wrap each norm in single quotes, e.g. "'AsylG 2005 §3' ODER 'BFA-VG §21 Abs7'").

decision_date_from

Optional lower date bound (YYYY-MM-DD, EntscheidungsdatumVon).

decision_date_to

Optional upper date bound (YYYY-MM-DD, EntscheidungsdatumBis).

decision_type

Optional decision type (Entscheidungsart). Free-text; the API validates server-side.

deciding_authority

Optional filter for the deciding body (EntscheidendeBehoerde), e.g. "Personalvertretungsaufsichtsbehörde".

in_ris_since

Optional RIS recency filter (ImRisSeit). Accepts API values ("Undefined", "EinerWoche", "ZweiWochen", "EinemMonat", "DreiMonaten", "SechsMonaten", "EinemJahr") and English aliases ("one_week", "two_weeks", "one_month", "three_months", "six_months", "one_year").

search_decision_text

Optional flag for decision text search (SucheInEntscheidungstexten).

Optional flag for legal principles search (SucheInRechtssaetzen). When both flags are omitted, both document types are searched. When only one flag is given, the other defaults to its complement, so a single flag selects exactly one document type (e.g. search_decision_text = FALSE searches legal principles only). Setting both to FALSE is an error.

echo

Logical. If TRUE, prints two progress messages: the equivalent RIS website search URL (the Ergebnis.wxe query on https://www.ris.bka.gv.at) before any request is sent; and the total hit and page count as soon as the first page's response arrives. This lets the result set be double-checked in the browser and gives an early sense of scope for broad queries without waiting for every page.

base_url

API base URL. Defaults to ris_base_url(), which can be overridden for a session via options(risAT.base_url = ...).

Value

A tidy tibble with parsed search results. Includes list-column content_urls.

Details

Covers decisions of Austria's staff representation oversight bodies: the Personalvertretungs-Aufsichtskommission (PVAK, 1999–2013) and the Personalvertretungsaufsichtsbehörde (PVAB, since 2014).

Examples

if (FALSE) { # interactive()
# Search all staff representation oversight decisions
ris_search_pvak(query = "Wahlrecht")

# Filter to PVAB decisions (since 2014)
ris_search_pvak(
  deciding_authority = "Personalvertretungsaufsichtsbehörde",
  decision_date_from = "2014-01-01"
)

# Search by norm
ris_search_pvak(norm = "BPVG §22")
}
