Ex Parte Farley | 61.870 | The materials compiled for purposes of reviewing death sentences will be open to the public and, perforce, to all who may be interested, as soon as the Supreme Court has the occasion and opportunity to examine and consider them, and until then they are in the same category as any other source of knowledge or information, apart from the record of proceedings relating to an individual appellant, from which the members of the court may properly seek assistance or inspiration in the formulation of their judgments.

University of Kentucky v. Courier-Journal | 61.870 | Any common law regarding access to records maintained by public agencies was codified and preempted by the General Assembly’s passage of the Open Records Act.

University of Kentucky v. Courier-Journal | 61.878, 61.870 | State university’s response to inquiry by collegiate athletic association into rules violation was not exempt from disclosure under Open Records Act exemption for public records. It is clear that the university is a “public agency” and the entire response submitted by the university to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) constitutes a public record. Where the university spent over $400,000.00 for the response and the public has a legitimate interest in its contents, the response is not exempt. Furthermore, the contents of the response are a matter of public interest and release would not constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. University of Kentucky v. Courier-Journal & Louisville Times Co., 830 S.W.2d 373, 1992 Ky. LEXIS 55 (Ky. 1992). Link |
