Circuit court properly affirmed an Attorney General’s opinion on an Open Records Act request that the audit documents at issue were subject to disclosure because the preliminary-records exception did not apply where a university took its final action based upon the information revealed during the audits, the audits were not prepared or conducted under the direction of counsel or intended to be disclosed only to counsel for the purposes of preparing legal advice, and the audit documents were not subject to the work-product doctrine since they were prepared in the course of the university’s normal business oversight of a clinic’s operation, and only remotely in anticipation of potential litigation. Univ. of Ky. v. Lexington H-L Servs., 579 S.W.3d 858, 2018 Ky. App. LEXIS 238 (Ky. Ct. App. 2018).
