Concur however;
I would note that many court injunctions and Non-Disclosure Agreements
and contracts  contain a clause that states that even the existence of
that injunction or confidentiality agreement or contract may not be
disclosed, and in the case of court orders (made in public court) the
search engines at present do not show their existence.

So it is possible to do such a thing and it is done at present, this is
just an extension of the concept to a 'person's ability to be forgotten'
as opposed to a court which has ability to impose financial penalties
which hurt usually imposed for 'contempt of court' not for the actual
disclosure; however many jurisdictions do not allow such injunctions and
their courts will overturn mutual confidentiality agreements even when
intense personal detail is trying to be hidden. Thus there is an open
judicial war between different jurisdictions and it is on that as well
as the technicalities that Google are stating as their case.
