Supreme Court of California
Michaelis, Montanari & Johnson v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County, S133464
In a dispute involving California's Public Records Act, a court of appeals' reversal of a denial of mandamus petition seeking public disclosure of competitive proposals submitted to a municipality's airport agency is reversed where the trial court correctly ruled that public disclosure of competing proposals for the city's lease project properly could await conclusion of the agency's negotiation process.
