Georgia Supreme Court hears arguments in hospital open records case

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday heard arguments on the high-profile case, which involves Northside Hospital's rejection of requests for information about financial documents and other matters. Attorney Peter Canfield argued that Northside – a financially successful hospital system based in Atlanta – is subject to the Georgia Open Records Act because it was created by a public hospital authority, which is a government entity, and that it operates solely on the authority’s behalf.
