Transcript:

Summary:

American Educational Enterprises bought a piece of state property from the governor and Cabinet in their capacity as the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund. American later sued the Board, alleging misrepresentation among other things. The Board counter-sued. During pretrial discovery, American objected to one of the Board's requests for financial documents. The trial court approved the request; the Third District Court of Appeal overturned that ruling; the Board appealed to this Court. Now the parties contest whether the 3rd DCA relied upon the correct standard of review.
