Statement on Travelex Ruling

Thế giới cáToday, Fulton County Superior Court Chief Judge Cynthia Wright denied an emergency motion which sought to force the City to disclose all bids for the Foreign Currency Exchange Services contract at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Travelex, which submitted a bid but lost, filed the emergency motion to gain access to all of its competitors’ bids under the Georgia Open Records Act.

Thế giới cáThis decision validates the City’s understanding of the Georgia Open Records Act and the City’s goal to defend “the integrity of the competitive bidding process” by protecting the confidentiality of business competitors’ sensitive information during the bidding process.
