2805 A public entity's statutory privilege against disclosing official information because of a necessity for preserving confidentiality that outweighs the necessity for disclosure in the interest of justice is conditioned on a balancing of the party's need for disclosure in the interest of justice against the public's interest in preserving confidentiality, so a motion to compel such discovery should not be denied until the trial court has examined the documents involved and made an appropriate determination.CitationMARYLANDER v SUPERIOR COURT (Governor Action Requests) 81 CA4 1119 [See: EvC 1040(b)(2); Shepherd v Superior Court 17 C3 107; PSC Geothermal v Superior Court 25 CA4 1697]
