Energy Policy Advocates v. Freedom of Information Commission

A Connecticut Superior Court found that substantial evidence supported the Freedom of Information Commission’s determination that information redacted in documents produced by the Connecticut Office of the Attorney General (OAG) pursuant to the Connecticut Freedom of Information Act were “records of strategy with respect to pending litigation,” and therefore exempt from disclosure. The documents were produced in response to a request for emails and correspondence from assistant attorneys general, other OAG legal staff, and two outside attorneys dealing with environmental and climate change litigation.
