The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal against the Land Court's decision to order compensation for significant harm caused by a private information disclosure. The Land Court had found that the disclosure caused substantial damage to the property, but the affected party had not been given an opportunity to respond to the appeal before the main proceedings concluded. The Court ruled that the Land Court's procedure was flawed because it failed to ensure the affected party could participate in the appeal process prior to the final decision.
