The Connecticut Supreme Court has ruled that state Attorney General Richard Blumenthal cannot make public the confidential business documents he obtains through a subpoena, handing a victory to a Florida insurance company that sued to prevent disclosure of the information.
In a decision released Monday, the justices overturned a Superior Court ruling and agreed with Brown & Brown Insurance Inc., of Tampa and Daytona Beach, Fla., in a case that stemmed from Blumenthal's ongoing investigation of the insurance industry.
Brown & Brown provided 12,000 documents in 2006 but sued when Blumenthal did not assure the company that the information would be kept confidential.
