DISCUSSION ¶23 “Whether the denial of access to public records is wrongful is an issue of law which we review de novo.” Cox Ariz. Publ’ns
Nina Alley v. Pima County, Pima County Attorney's Office, Laura Conover Ariz. Ct. App. Div. 2 2026
In Fisher, in shifting the burden to a public body based on a challenge under open meeting law, we noted that open meeting law cases are “analogous” to public records law cases, both of which may require the public body to demonstrate why “records should not be made public.” 185 Ariz. at 121-22; see, e.g., Cox Ariz. Publ’ns
Matthew Abraham ph.D. v. Arizona Board of Regents Ariz. Ct. App. Div. 2 2025

For example, some cases state that courts must review de novo whether the “denial of access to public records is wrongful.” See, e.g., Cox Ariz. Publ’ns, (also providing that “trial court’s finding that a custodian has acted in bad faith, arbitrarily or capriciously will be upheld unless clearly erroneous”).
