A Washington County judge, holding there is no constitutional right to privacy for business entities, has unsealed the record in a case in which three drillers settled a suit brought by a couple for about $750,000 before a complaint was even filed.

In Hallowich v. Range Resources, Washington County Court of Common Pleas Judge Debbie O’Dell-Seneca reversed a previous order by former Washington County Judge Paul Pozonsky that sealed the record in the case from the public.
