Federal FOIA fee waivers must be granted when disclosure is "in the public interest" and not primarily commercial. The four-factor analysis (subject matter, informative value, contribution to public understanding, requester's commercial interest) is well-established but routinely misapplied by agencies as discretionary when it is mandatory if the factors are met.
A properly framed waiver request that addresses each factor explicitly is hard for an agency to deny without creating an appellate record. Most denials lose on appeal when the requester points to the framework.
Most state open-meeting laws require posted notice with sufficient specificity for the public to know what is being decided. Generic "discussion of personnel matters" or "old business" descriptions routinely fail challenge, voiding any vote taken on items not specifically noticed.
A voided action requires a re-vote at a properly noticed meeting — including any contract execution that depended on it. Counterparties to voided contracts have leverage they did not have before the defect surfaced.
MSRB Rule 15c2-12 requires issuers to file notice of certain events within 10 business days. The list runs to 16 categories now, including some (insolvency of obligated person, modifications to rights of bondholders, financial obligations material to investors) that are easily missed without a tracking process.
A pattern of late or missed event filings can trigger SEC enforcement and impair the issuer's future market access. The reputational cost outlasts the immediate penalty.
