See MacEwan v. Holm et al, 226 Or. 27, 38-39 , 359 P.2d 413 (1961); but see Jordan v. MVD, 308 Or. 433 , 781 P.2d 1203 (1989). [2] ORS 192.502(2) [ former ORS 192.500(2)(b)] exempts from disclosure: "Information of a personal nature such as but not limited to that kept in a personal, medical or similar file, if the public disclosure thereof would constitute an unreasonable invasion of privacy, unless the public interest by clear and convincing evidence requires disclosure in…

Cf. Jordan, 308 Or at 444 (Gillette, J., concurring) (noting, in effect, that court properly should consider derivative consequences of disclosure of information).

The court noted in Jordan v. MVD, 308 Or 433, 443, n 9 , 781 P2d 1203 (1989), that “a public agency always has the burden of sustaining applicability of an exemption to avoid disclosure, ORS 192.450(1), ORS 192.490(1), when its decision to exempt is questioned.” County points to nothing in the available record to suggest that it carried that burden, and we reject its first assignment.
