And breach of contract in a complaint. This court dispute has become a hot issue in the media due to the high-profile nature of the case and the celebrities involved.
As the matter moves closer to a judicial confrontation, Lively has taken precautions to protect private information that may be disclosed to the media.
Her legal team asked that some of the discovery data be limited to “attorneys’ eyes only,” namely to trade secrets, personal security measures, medical information, and third-party facts.
Judge Lewis Liman granted Lively’s motion on Thursday, but cautioned that given the prominent profiles of the persons involved, there was a significant possibility of such material being leaked.
