概要
This week, we cover two legal cases impacting records management. First, the Michigan Supreme Court is set to review a case involving the city of Grand Rapids and its delayed response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The ACLU argues that the city's 13-month delay in providing records on police drone use effectively denied the request, despite a Michigan Court of Appeals ruling in favor of the city because state law lacks a specific disclosure timeframe.
In another significant development, the D.C. Circuit Court will hear arguments in a case concerning the "clawback" of mistakenly disclosed records by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms. This case highlights the tension between privacy interests and public disclosure under FOIA. The court previously vacated a clawback order due to a lack of judicial authority, as FOIA does not include provisions for such remedies. The outcome could have substantial implications for how agencies handle inadvertent disclosures.
