Attorney Fees

Circuit court properly dismissed a city’s complaint against a petitioner and awarded him attorney’s fees and statutory penalties because the city and its ethics commission wrongfully withheld public records from the petitioner without a good faith basis or plausible justification, they continued in a pattern of improperly denying and delaying the petitioner’s exercise of rights under the Open Records Act, and, while the commission was the entity that withheld the documents, it was merely a division of the city. City of Taylorsville Ethics Comm'n v. Trageser, 604 S.W.3d 305, 2020 Ky. App. LEXIS 73 (Ky. Ct. App. 2020). Full Details
