SDNY COURTHOUSE,
May 22 – Two men agreed to
share consulting fees earned
by jointly assisting
non-Chinese companies entering
the Chinese market.
But
Eberhard Kornotzki sued Tariq
Jawad for not sharing the fees
with him.
In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York litigation before Judge
Jesse M. Furman, both parties
are seeking to seal from the
public and press documents
they are filing. Judge Furman
on May 20 granted the requests
to redact, temporarily he
wrote, until he decides the
underlying motion they are
related to.
But
the presumptively public
nature of filing in Federal
court, including in civil
cases, is not limited to the
documents being unsealed after
the motion or case is decided.
Inner City Press only this
week has moved forward with
getting unsealed even subpoena
information in a criminal case
concerning North Korea
sanctions.
Should a China
business case be so different?
On May 22 Judge Furman held a
telephone conference with the
parties, and still the
documents were not released.
The case is
Kornotzki v. Jawad, 19-cv-6689
(Furman).
