State v. Sacco

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court granted a peremptory writ of mandamus, vacating the trial court’s order that Clackamas Women’s Services produce phone‑number and financial‑assistance records about the alleged victim. The Court held that Oregon’s certified‑advocate‑victim privilege and ORS 147.600 broadly protect all records created or maintained in the course of providing services, regardless of whether they contain confidential communications, and that the trial court lacked authority to compel disclosure or to require the agency to create a new document containing protected information.
