| Lawson v. Office of the Attorney Gen. | 61.878 | Owner of a company did not have standing to invoke the exemption contained in subsection (1)(h), because he was not among the class of persons that exemption was intended to protect; the exemption is addressed to county and Commonwealth attorneys, not private citizens, and is intended to shield prosecutors from disclosures potentially harmful to their informants or their prosecutions and from the cost, inconvenience, and disruption that compliance would visit upon their offices. Lawson v. Office of the AG, 415 S.W.3d 59, 2013 Ky. LEXIS 640 (Ky. 2013). Link |
