Custodians often struggle with OPRA requests that involve individuals’ home addresses. No court has issued a definitive, published opinion concerning OPRA’s privacy exemption and home addresses.

Fortunately, the Supreme Court is going to provide long-awaited guidance on this issue. On May 8th, the Court announced that it has granted review in Brennan v. Bergen County Prosecutor, which presents the question, according to the Court’s website, of whether OPRA and the common law compel disclosure of the names and addresses of people who successfully bid at an auction of public property.
