Why Shield Documents If You Aren't Guilty?

[MrFedEx]

Apparently, FedEx is going to be forced to turn over documents pertaining to the potentially very costly overbilling lawsuit. Today, a judge ruled against Fred, paving the way for the case to proceed.

Here's a simple question. If you are innocent, why not just give the papers to the court? After all, you're not guilty, and all of the papers will prove that.

Hmmm.

I wonder how many customers we'll lose when they realized they've been overbilled for who knows how long? Assuming that it's true.

Fred's philosophy is never to do the right thing but always hire more lawyers.

But, it was an honest mistake!! The papers will show that, right? I love how the FedEx attorney says that they don't want to release the material because it's a UPS competitiveness issue. What a crock.

The same reason any individual would (and should) decline to provide any information to the court; the 4th and 5th amendments.
