Enron Faces Legal Wrangle Over Public Access To Documents

by Glen Shapiro, LawAndTax-News.com, New York

01 April 2003

Lawyers for the collapsed US energy trading giant, Enron are arguing that many of the documents turned over to investigators since the company's demise should not be made available to the public, as they contain sensitive information.

Former shareholders and the company's creditors want the information to be put in the public domain, suggesting that Enron's affairs are already too shrouded in secrecy.

According to reports, Enron lawyer, John Strasburger argued that documents dealing with claims analyses and live legal disputes, the sale of assets, personnel information, and the details of trading contracts with former partners should all be sealed.

He revealed that a team of Enron employees is reviewing the material which was made available to investigators and government agencies, but that they will need at least another two months to finish combing the documents for sensitive information.
