If you sell somebody the right to use my product, or you
allege that my product is infringing, then I certainly should
have the right to know what is being sold or alleged, since
what is being done is interference with my business.
In UK law interference with business is a tort.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

If you then sue me over something else related to the sale of the lawnmower, I
have the right to use that bill of sale to counter your arguments in the court,
and it will become public information at that point.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

This isn't asking the court to enforce a fair contract, or private arbitration
paid for by the parties.
This is a company trying to use the court system, paid for by taxpayers, for
competitive advantage.
The default should be that most documents are made public. How else can we, the
public, know that the laws are just and are being fairly applied?

I should not be allowed to prohibit you from disclosing the cost of the
lawnmower. I did not say that the law prohibits secret agreements. I said that
it should be changed to not allow them.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Not exactly, I'm almost sure that you need to reveal that
secret to the IRS, to the legal system when requested, then
we've got the FBI with the Patriot Act, ...
