What is the legal test for sealing records in a personal injury case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Wild v. Yeager, F070631 (Cal. App. 2017):

The sealed records disclose no trade secrets, financial information, or product information. The parties have not shown disclosure would result in a breach of any privilege, such as the attorney-client privilege, nor do the sealed records contain information likely to be embarrassing. (People v. Jackson (2005) 128 Cal.App.4th 1009, 1024 ["[w]hile commercial harm or embarrassment of a party does not alone justify sealing the entire record of a case [citation], it is appropriate to seal certain records when those particular records contain highly sensitive and potentially embarrassing personal information about individuals"].)
