A federal judge in Los Angeles has refused to seal a wrongful termination lawsuit filed by Dimitrios Biller, a former in-house attorney for Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. Biller claims Toyota hid and destroyed evidence in many rollover lawsuits. While Toyota argues the suit violates the confidentiality agreement in Biller’s severance package and will cause the company to suffer more harm if the complaint is not sealed, the judge ruled it would be pointless to seal the complaint since information regarding the lawsuit is already on the Internet. Biller has also filed a wrongful termination suit against the Los Angeles district attorney’s office, where he worked after Toyota, claiming his termination here violated the American’s With Disabilities Act because of diagnosed dyslexia and mental conditions. Though Toyota was not part of this lawsuit, they have been attempting to seal documents from this case as well, claiming Biller divulged confidential information about the automaker that is protected by attorney-client privilege.
