Matthew T. McLaughlin writes: Litigants in disputes with public agencies have an opportunity to bring a two-front attack when obtaining documents. The CPLR and the FOIL statutes operate in tandem, and choosing one route does not preclude use of the other. The tandem operation of these two statutes brings, however, an often unappreciated twist. Under FOIL, public agencies enjoy certain exceptions to the obligation to produce documents. Several courts, including three of the Appellate Division departments, hold that the exceptions to production found in the FOIL statute may be used defensively in civil litigation, thereby permitting a public agency to withhold documents for FOIL-based reasons. Recent jurisprudence from the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, has opened a chasm in the intersection between the CPLR discovery devices and the operation of FOIL.
