Court of Appeals of New York

In an action under the Freedom of Information Law ("FOIL") against six Charter Schools seeking, among other things, payroll records showing the full names, titles, corresponding salaries, and home addresses of all persons employed as teachers, instructors and faculty, the trial court's order requiring partial disclosure is reversed where an entity subject to FOIL may deny access to records that "if disclosed would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy," which, as relevant here, included the "sale or release of lists of names and addresses if such lists would be used for commercial or fund-raising purposes."
