The court's record, as written
051882 Bland v. Virginia State University 06/08/2006 In Virginia Freedom of Information Act litigation concerning whether an agency properly redacted personnel information appearing in certain reports, the trial court erred in failing to grant a former employee's motion to require production of unredacted versions of the reports and make them part of the record under seal. Exclusion of evidence considered by a trial court in reaching its decision, when properly tendered for the record, impedes appellate review and constitutes an abuse of discretion. The trial court's judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
