The Delaware Court of Chancery has granted Al-Jazeera America LLC’s request for an interlocutory appeal to challenge the court’s decision to unseal a large portion of the network’s complaint against AT&T Services Inc. If the Delaware Supreme Court opts to accept Al-Jazeera’s appeal, it will give the high court an opportunity to clarify a new, rarely-used rule adopted by the Chancery Court governing the confidentiality of litigation documents.
Vice Chancellor Sam Glasscock III last week approved Al-Jazeera’s motion for an interlocutory appeal to determine if he properly applied Rule 5.1 when he ordered the network to file a public version of its heavily-redacted complaint. The public version must include the nature of Al-Jazeera’s dispute with AT&T and information about the parties’ contractual relationship, according to Glasscock’s opinion in Al-Jazeera America LLC v. AT&T Services.
