Notes of Decisions
In view of the confidential nature of the juvenile casework file, the trial court should have gone through the file and made available pertinent parts of it for defense (opposing) counsel to use in cross-examination. State ex rel Juvenile Dept. v. La Mar, 7 Or App 132, 490 P2d 191 (1971)
Since this section makes public assistance records confidential to protect recipients from exploitation by third parties, recipients themselves are not within class of persons to whom disclosure is forbidden. Stivahtis v. Juras, 13 Or App 519, 511 P2d 421 (1973)
