The court-ordered disclosure of internal oil company documents including e-mails and trading records from a 6-year U.S. probe will be delayed at least six days while a federal appeals court considers speeding up review of a challenge to the ruling.

Oil traders including Morgan Stanley (MS:US) and Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSA) asked a Manhattan federal judge to block the release of millions of records to plaintiffs lawyers — files that had been gathered by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as part of its probe begun in December 2007.

The files include e-mails, depositions, trading records and audio files. U.S. District Judge William H. Pauley on Oct. 25 held that he would allow lawyers leading a lawsuit claiming market manipulation.
