State ex rel. Luken v. Corp. for Findlay Market of Cincinnati
Annotate this CaseFindlay Market was a public market historically owned and operated by the City of Cincinnati until 2004, when the City and the Corporation for Findlay Market of Cincinnati entered into lease and management agreements under which the Corporation was to manage the market for the city. In this public-records mandamus case, Appellant sought unredacted copies of the lease agreements between the Corporation and merchants who subleased retail space at the market. Appellant received copies of the leases, but the term and rent provisions were redacted by the Corporation. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant failed to establish his entitlement to relief in mandamus for the unredacted leases, as they were trade secrets and not public records.
