With respect to government contracts: It would really hurt a company if their detail pricing scheme was released, as a competitor could easily undercut if they had access to that information.
With respect to court documents: It could result is someone getting hurt or a mis-trial due to outside influences (ie. Rob Ford video)
There are obviously many reasons...

- danielweber 13y agoGovernment contracts are usually public information already. More than once I've been at a company that sold something to a government agency, and the agency first had to publish what exactly they were buying and give someone else the ability to put in a better bid.
