Robert E. Vanella v. Christina Duran

Summary

The Court held that the Delaware State Police failed to justify withholding records concerning troopers’ employment histories, résumés, former officers, and anonymized demographic information. It reversed those portions of the Superior Court’s judgment and remanded for production or legally sufficient sworn explanations, but affirmed the denial of attorney fees and costs because the statutory fee provision applies to successful plaintiffs who file actions, not appellants pursuing the required on-the-record process against a State Agency.
