Supreme Court of New Hampshire

Union Leader Corporation & a. v. Town of Salem

May 29, 2020

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Hampshire overruled the per se exemption for "internal personnel practices" established in Union Leader Corp. v. Fenniman, holding that the exemption must be narrowly construed and subject to the balancing test used for other privacy exemptions, and vacated and remanded the trial court's order for further application of that test.
