The state Supreme Court is requiring the state Department of Corrections to pay legal fees to the Herald-Standard after the justices found the agency acted in “bad faith and willful and wanton behavior” in its response to the newspaper’s open records requests several years ago. The decision Tuesday upholds a previous lower court ruling from 2018 that the DOC should pay $118,458 in legal fees to Uniontown Newspapers Inc., the newspaper’s parent company, for costs associated with procuring documents associated with the open records request. Michael Joyce, an attorney for the Pittsburgh-based law firm of Saul, Ewing, Arnstein & Lehr that represented the newspaper, called it an historic case for open records and the largest monetary sanction against a government agency in the state’s history.
