Government Disclosure Request and Privileges Review
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA party sued a governmental entity seeking judicial review of a decision that denied a request for records under a public disclosure statute, asserting the denial was improper because the requested documents were not protected by the attorney-client or deliberative process privileges. The court held that while the attorney-client privilege might apply to internal legal advice, the deliberative process privilege only protects pre-decisional documents that reflect the agency's function of formulating policy or making decisions, and because the agency failed to demonstrate that the documents sought would inhibit candid discussion or reveal non-deliberative recommendations, the broad denial was not justified, thus remanding the matter for an in camera review to determine which specific portions, if any, were properly withheld.
