A kind reader drops me a line to observe that more than a week has gone by without an article from me. The intermission is nothing to do with a lack of raw material – I still have the Carmel … Continue reading →

I am back from nearly three weeks in the US and catching up slowly. Changing time zones does not bother me much, but it is tiresome how the world declines to stand still when one is away. I have already … Continue reading →

As you may have gathered from my relative silence in these pages, I am on holiday. The primary reason for being in California is to attend the Carmel Valley eDiscovery Retreat which has moved from the place which gave it … Continue reading →

Professor Richard Susskind was the keynote speaker at Lawtech Camp London. If his message was familiar to many of us, it bears repeating, certainly in relation to litigation, as the times catch up with his predictions. There is a good … Continue reading →

Xerox’s acquisition of Lateral Data adds significantly to the range of solutions which Xerox Litigation Services can offer to its clients, and provides further evidence that the eDiscovery market is fast consolidating into fewer hands. The announcement is here and Legal … Continue reading →

I am back from Hong Kong, where I took part in InnoXcell’s Asia eDiscovery Exchange and spent three days listening as much as talking, with the aim of finding out as much as possible about eDiscovery in the region. It … Continue reading →

A New Zealand court has decided that Megauploads’ Kim Dotcom and others are entitled to disclosure of at least some documents to help them prepare their cases against the US government’s demand for their extradition. There is some irony in … Continue reading →

It has been a month since I published my last list of articles published on Google Plus and said that I would not be doing any more of them. I speedily repented of that as the stream of interesting articles … Continue reading →

Bloomberg BNA has published an article by Conor Crowley which looks at both the origins and the new developments in the lawyers’ Duty of Competence in eDiscovery. It is a US article about US rules and codes of conduct. The … Continue reading →

In case you are wondering at the number of short posts which I have put here this morning, I began the day intending to capture short notes on my Google Plus page.  I have invested a fair amount of time … Continue reading →

Charles Christian’s Orange Rag brings us a helpful summary of the recent round of acquisitions in the eDiscovery sector with the heading The Great eDiscovery Shakeup – or is that Shakeout? and predicts that 2012 will see yet more of … Continue reading →

I find that I field complaints if I fall silent for a few days. It is, of course, gratifying that anyone should notice, and a word or two of explanation might pre-empt the assumption that I have packed up and … Continue reading →

Here is another of of the periodic lists of the short posts about eDisclosure and eDiscovery which go on my Google Plus page. This is in part a place to put short posts which link to things which might otherwise … Continue reading →

I cannot remember when I last read a judgment whose subject matter included questions about whether certain documents could be said to be in the “control” of another for the purposes of disclosure.  Two such judgments have come my way … Continue reading →

The terms of the plaintiff’s Objections to Judge Peck’s predictive coding opinion in Da Silva Moore v Publicis Groupe deprive the commentators of anything useful to say. It is not merely that the decision goes into limbo pending the District … Continue reading →
