Requests to Access Restricted Case Records

(a) A Case Record that is restricted or excluded from access under these rules may be made accessible by order of a court having jurisdiction over the record when the court finds: (1) The Custodian mistakenly excluded the Case Record from access under these rules; (2) Any Party whose interests are intended to be protected from the restriction have intentionally waived confidentiality where permitted by law; or (3) Extraordinary circumstances require deviation from the restriction on disclosure in order to serve the public interest without creating harm to those intended to be protected by the restriction. (b) motion to request access to a Case Record may be made by any party to a case, any member of the Public, or by the court on its own motion. The motion shall be filed in the court having jurisdiction over the record. (c) The movant shall give notice to all parties to the case except as prohibited by law. The court may require the movant to give notice of the motion to any individual or entity who is the subject of the information contained in the Case Record at issue. (d) The movant has the burden of establishing by clear and convincing evidence that access is appropriate under one of the justifications listed by Rule 6(a).
