Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal, has asked a court to deny a request by Apple Inc. and GT Advanced Technology Inc to keep under seal some documents relating to GT Advanced’s bankruptcy, reports Tanya Agrawal of Reuters.
Agrawal reports, “Dow Jones said in Tuesday’s filing that the companies’ had not cited any authority to support their ‘brazen’ request and asked the court to reject their ‘ransom’ demands.
“Under U.S. bankruptcy laws, there are narrow exceptions which allow documents to be sealed and Dow Jones said neither company had argued that certain documents in the case qualified for this extraordinary protection.
“‘To the contrary, GTAT has stated unequivocally that the sealed materials do not satisfy the statutory test,’ Dow Jones said in the filing.
“GT Advanced and Apple were not immediately available for comment.”
