Answer:
To avoid compromising an individual's private information and an individual's privacy, restrictions will now be place on all documents, including claims, filed in cases opened before December 1, 2003, that have been closed for at least a year. Every document will be restricted even if the content has no private or sensitive information. Documents that were previously unrestricted are now available only for court users, case participants and their attorneys, and anyone using a public terminal. Documents that were previously restricted to court users retain the same restriction level.
