Kenneth T. Michaud v. Town of Campton Police Department

Summary

The court held that the Town violated the Right-to-Know Law by categorically denying the plaintiff’s request based on his perceived motive to circumvent discovery without first reviewing responsive records and determining whether specific exemptions applied. The court vacated the denial of attorney’s fees and costs because the trial court’s erroneous merits ruling may have affected its analysis, and remanded for reconsideration under the statutory fee criteria.
