LDG scored a win for the City of Hoboken in the Appellate Division on September 1, 2015

LDG scored a win for the City of Hoboken in the Appellate Division on September 1, 2015. Shipyard Associates, L.P. filed three OPRA requests with the City in connection with legislation Hoboken passed in 2013.  Hoboken denied all three requests as being overbroad.  Shipyard brought a lawsuit against Hoboken which the trial court dismissed in 2014.  Yesterday, the Appellate Division largely affirmed the trial court’s decision, finding all three OPRA requests to be impermissibly overbroad, and finding that the lower court was correct in dismissing the OPRA portion of the complaint.
