I am in receipt of your Open Public Records Request / common law right for
all partisan and / or non partisan candidates petitions filed for
municipal offices and county committee in the Borough of Spring Lake
Heights.
Attached are the petitions filled in my office; at this time, no county
committee petitions have been filed.
Please be advised that N.J.S.A. 47:1A-6 provides that a person who is
denied access to a government record by the custodian of the record, at
the option of the requestor, may institute a proceeding to challenge the
custodian's decision by filing an action in Superior Court which shall be
heard in the vicinage where it is filed by a Superior Court Judge who has
been designated to hear such cases because of that judge's knowledge and
expertise in matters relating to access to government records; or in lieu
of filing an action in Superior Court, file a complaint with the
Government Records Council established pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-7.
The right to institute any proceeding shall be solely that of the
requestor. Any such proceeding shall proceed in a summary or expedited
manner. The public agency shall have the burden of proving that the denial
of access is authorized by law. If it is determined that access has been
improperly denied, the court or agency head shall order that access be
allowed. A requestor who prevails in any proceeding shall be entitled to a
reasonable attorney's fee.
Very truly yours,
Janine Gillis
