The Idaho Supreme Court handed a victory to the Idaho Business Review in its battle with the Boise-based Idaho Statesman in the placement of private party legal notices. The Court struck down a portion of the public notice statute passed by the legislature in 2004 that steered notices to the largest circulation newspaper. Because of flaws in legislative drafting, the Court found that the new law did not apply to private party notices, such as foreclosure notices placed by attorneys.
