Ethics Commission of the Town of Glastonbury v. Freedom of Information Commission

Summary

The court held that the Freedom of Information Commission exceeded its statutory remedial authority by ordering the Glastonbury Ethics Commission to record and preserve all future executive or closed sessions for three years. The recording requirement did not rectify the past denial of public access or the failure to prepare adequate minutes, and the statute supplied other remedies and sanctions for violations. The judgments dismissing the ethics commission's appeals were reversed and the cases were remanded for judgments in its favor.
