Questão jurídica principal
Whether the sealed CD-ROM and company folders could be unsealed and searched for the allegations of undue brokerage commission and waiver of a repurchase right.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For these allegations there was sufficient suspicion and a relevant nexus; the appellant did not show protected secrecy interests for the CD-ROM and folders 2.3-2.21.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that unsealing is allowed when there is sufficient suspicion, a potential evidentiary connection, necessity and proportionality. The appellant failed to identify specific protected secrets for the digital data and most folders; therefore the materials could be handed over for search.
