Energy Transfer LP (formerly known as Energy Transfer Equity, L.P.), Appellants, vs. Greenpeace…

Summary

The court held that the Minnesota Free Flow of Information Act (MFFIA) applies to newsgatherers even when they engage in alleged unlawful or tortious conduct not covered by the statutory exceptions, and that the Act does not bar a district court from ordering a privilege log, though such orders must consider undue burden. The decision affirms the appellate court’s denial of the motion to compel and reverses its prohibition on privilege‑log orders, remanding for further proceedings.
