The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court recently imposed fines for the bad faith response to a right-to-know request under the PA RTK law in the case styled: California University of Pennsylvania v. Bradshaw, 1491 C.D. 2018. The court also imposed the maximum statutory penalties. This is one of only a few cases in the 12-year history of the RTK law in which a court has imposed a penalty of fees for bad faith.

The PA Office of Open Records has a helpful summary of the case on its website.
