Attorney: Unsealed Garlock documents could be ‘double-edged sword’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Legal Newsline) – As those paying close attention to the Garlock Sealing Technologies bankruptcy case await access to the previously sealed material from the estimation proceeding, bankruptcy attorney David Christian said anticipated access advances the goal of transparency but could still be “a double-edged sword.”

While Christian is not an active participant in the Garlock bankruptcy case and does not know what information is in the documents about to be released to the public, he said it is important to keep in mind that Garlock also wanted to maintain confidentiality for some information when the debtor filed a motion to seal.
