olddog I could not read what you said would make me understand how the courts can seal information. Even if they say they have a right that right might be ill found and unconstitutional as information used to be withheld from the public but the freedom of information act stopped that. Here we have public companies ELECTING TO USE THE COURT SYSTEM INSTEAD OF PRIVATE ARBITRATION. The court house is owned by we the people the judges are paid by we the people, and any thing stated or done in a public facility the public should have access to it. I am going to show my stupidity by seeking a New York attorney and see if they will do some pro bono work in challenging the courts right to withhold information from the public in the interest of a publicly traded company or even a private company. They elected to use our court house and our judges but don't want us to know what happens in our place. No one twisted the 2 parties arm to not use private arbitration and therefore we can't enforce them to make public what occurred, but when you use the peoples court then nothing should be withheld.
