How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • state commission need not show compelling need for documents subpoenaed by grand jury unless party objecting first shows grand jury secrecy jeopardized
  • where specific documents are sought for investigation into matters different from that before grand jury, party objecting to production must prove disclosure will jeopardize grand jury secrecy before Rule 6(e) secrecy limitations will be applied
  • “Documents such as the business records sought by the Commission here are created for purposes independent of grand jury investigations, and such records have many legitimate uses unrelated to the substance of the grand jury proceedings.”
