To the extent that you have also requested access to the above government records under the common law, your stated interest in obtaining the records must be balanced against the County of Morris’ interest in nondisclosure. See Loigman v. Kimmelman, 102 N.J. 98 (1986). The foregoing response to your request for access to government records incorporates the aforementioned balancing test. Please note that "a party's status as a litigant does not enlarge its access to government records under OPRA”. MAG Entm't, LLC v. Div. of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 534, 545-46 (App. Div. 2005). The County of Morris reserves the right to raise any other grounds for denial not raised in this response. Failure of the County of Morris to assert an exemption or privilege does not act as a waiver of any grounds for denial. Furthermore, a reviewing Court or the Government Records Council ("GRC") may deem a denial of access to be authorized on grounds other than those advanced by a custodian. See Paff v. Twp. of Plainsboro, A-2122-05T2, 2007 WL 957289, at *2 (App. Div., Apr. 2, 2007), affirming, Paff v. Township of Plainsboro, GRC Complaint No. 2005-29 (March 2006). If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfilled, you have a right to challenge the decision by the County of Morris to deny access. At your option, you may either initiate a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the GRC by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or on its website at http://www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.
