After careful review, we affirm.</p> <p>1076. OPEN RECORDS STATUTE. <br />DOE (JOHN)<br />VS.<br />CONWAY (JACK)<br />OPINION AFFIRMING<br />ACREE (PRESIDING JUDGE)<br />VANMETER (CONCURS) AND WINE (CONCURS)<br /><a href="http://opinions.kycourts.net/coa/2009-CA-000641.pdf" target="_self">2009-CA-000641-MR</a><br />2009-CA-000642-MR<br />TO BE PUBLISHED<br />FRANKLIN</p> <p>BEFORE: ACREE, VANMETER AND WINE, JUDGES.<br />ACREE, JUDGE: The appellants, John Doe I and John Doe II,1 seek reversal of the Franklin Circuit Court's decision to allow public inspection of agency records containing allegations that they were engaged in wrongdoing. The circuit court correctly determined that disclosure is required by the Kentucky Open Records Act. While these records arguably contain information of a private nature concerning the appellants, the public's interest in inspection greatly outweighs any privacy interest that may exist. Therefore, the privacy interest exception set forth in Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 61.878(1)(a) is inapplicable and we affirm.</p> <ul> </ul> <p>SOME NONPUBLISHED DECISIONS OF NOTE - TORTS, CIVIL PROCEDURE</p> <p>1077. PREJUDGMENT INTEREST. ATTORNEY FEES.<br />LJM 12, LLC, ET AL.<br />VS.<br />H. C.

Truitt Company d/b/a Truitt Roofing Company, contractual prejudgment interest on a monthly basis and attorney's fees. However, the circuit court did not err in determining that the contract's terms required contractual prejudgment interest to be applied on a monthly basis and the court properly awarded attorney's fees. Therefore, we affirm.</p> <p>1080<br />CHISM (DAVID SCOTT)<br />VS.<br />NATIONWIDE MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE COMPANY<br />OPINION VACATING AND REMANDING<br />KELLER (PRESIDING JUDGE)<br />MOORE (CONCURS) AND STUMBO (CONCURS)<br /><a href="http://opinions.kycourts.net/coa/2009-CA-001747.pdf" target="_self">2009-CA-001747-MR</a><br />NOT TO BE PUBLISHED<br />JEFFERSON</p> <p>KELLER, JUDGE: David Scott Chism (Chism) appeals from the circuit court's order granting summary judgment to Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (Nationwide). On appeal, Chism argues that the circuit court's judgment was improper because a question of material fact existed; that Nationwide's payments to Chism's ex-wife under a homeowner's policy were excessive; and that the circuit court's actions deprived him of the right to due process. For the following reasons, we vacate and remand.</p> <p> </p>
