State ex rel. Philbin v. Cleveland
Citations
- 2017 Ohio 1031
Syllabus
Mandamus, public records, R.C. 149.43, exempt records, redacted records, show cause order, contempt. The Ohio Public Records Act, R.C. 149.43, must be construed liberally in favor of broad public access, and any doubt must be resolved in favor of disclosure. The respondents were provided with an opportunity to address the claims of the relator that records were improperly redacted and that not all of the requested records were provided as agreed upon through mediation. The respondents have failed to provide any response to this court's show cause order that allowed them to demonstrate that the provided records were properly redacted and that all requested records were provided. Accordingly, we grant a writ of mandamus on behalf of the relator and order that the respondents provide the relator with unredacted copies of all requested records. The failure to provide the unredacted records may result in a finding of contempt on the part of the respondents.
