Judge to consider attorney fees in Swayne case
NIC President Nick Swayne
COEUR d’ALENE — For the second time, a judge will decide how much North Idaho College will pay NIC President Nick Swayne in attorney fees.
In January, Swayne won a public records lawsuit seeking a copy of a summary report of an investigation into a former college employee’s allegations of “retaliatory treatment and retaliatory discharge” by Swayne and other college employees.
First District Judge Barry McHugh found the report is a public record and not exempt from disclosure to Swayne. McHugh also determined Swayne “is entitled to an award of attorney’s fees and costs on NIC’s claims of exemption found to be frivolous.”
