Board of Directors of the City of Hot Springs, Arkansas, Appellant v. George Pritchett, Peggy Maruther-Thurman, Dan…

Summary

The court dismissed as moot the Board's challenge to the finding that it violated the Freedom of Information Act because the Board later took the required public vote. It affirmed the attorney-fee and costs award because the fee controversy remained live and the Board had not raised its substantial-justification argument below. The court also held that neither exception to the mootness doctrine applied.
