Palm Beach Circuit Judge Meenu Sasser appears ready to deny Boca Raton real estate mogul James Batmasian’s request to permanently seal records of a whistleblower lawsuit brought by his former chief financial officer.

On Thursday, Sasser pressed George Sigalos of Simon & Sigalos in Boca Raton into giving up his motion to keep the complaint filed by James Baker under seal. Sigalos also was given a deadline to explain which of the attached 28 exhibits, if any, should remain sealed.
