NY top court says ‘private’ Facebook photos can be disclosed

By a 7-0 vote, the Court of Appeals reinstated a trial judge’s ruling requiring a Manhattan woman who was disabled in a horse riding accident to turn over to the defendant horse owner an array of photos taken before and after her injuries.

To defend himself against Forman’s damages claims, Henkin sought access to her entire “private” Facebook account.

The Court of Appeals held that the some materials on a Facebook account may fairly be characterized as private but even private materials may be subject to discovery if they are relevant.
