Peter Plaintiff’s son is killed while working overseas for a United States corporation that deals in proprietary petroleum extraction and production. Peter Plaintiff brings a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of his son’s estate against this corporation and requests a wide scope of business documents related to the corporation and its overseas operations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). What defenses, if any, does the corporation have against revealing the requested information under the FOIA?

The defenses or protections the business has been against releasing the relevant documents underneath the FOIA include whether Peter Plaintiff's required documentation is private and confidential as well as the business is not allowed to release this detail to anyone outside the organization.
Because the statement is available nondisclosure, the company has to safeguard and defend this relevant data, and therefore not start sharing it with someone outside the establishment.
