RULE 16-931. EXCLUSIVE METHOD TO RESOLVE DISPUTES OVER ACCESS
Except as provided in Rule 16-919, the Rules in this Division constitute the exclusive methods of resolving disputes regarding access to judicial records. The provisions of Code, General Provisions Article, Title 4, Subtitles 1A and 1B and ยง 4-362 are not applicable.
Committee note: As noted in Rule 16-902 (a), pursuant to its Constitutional Rule-making authority, the Supreme Court has created a dispute resolution process that is efficient and credible and relies on the administrative expertise of judicial officials, with ultimate judicial review. There is no need in that process for actions for monetary damages, costs, and attorneys' fees against custodians.
