Mealey's ( June 24, 2019, 12:32 PM EDT) -- WASHINGTON, D. C. — A U. S. Supreme Court majority on June 24 ruled that invoking a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) exemption regarding the disclosure of trade secrets and confidential information requires only a showing that the information was treated as confidential by the parties involved and does not require a showing of “substantial-competitive-harm” (Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, No. 18-481, U. S. Sup. , 2019 U. S. LEXIS 4200). . . .
