Section 7 of the Right-to-Know Law explains how to handle violations of chapter 91-A.
Any person aggrieved by a violation of this chapter may petition the superior court for injunctive relief.
The courts shall give proceedings under this chapter priority on the court calendar.
Such a petitioner may appear with or without counsel.
The petition shall be deemed sufficient if it states facts constituting a violation of this chapter, and may be filed by the petitioner or his counsel with the clerk of court or any justice thereof.
Thereupon the clerk of court or any justice shall order service by copy of the petition on the person or persons charged.
When any justice shall find that time probably is of the essence, he may order notice by any reasonable means, and he shall have authority to issue an order ex parte when he shall reasonably deem such an order necessary to insure compliance with the provisions of this chapter.
This is NOT the current language of this law. This language was in effect from September 13, 1977 until July 1, 2008. The previous original language was effective August 26, 1967. This language of the RSA was changed by these session laws: 1977, 540; 1967, 251.
