Defendant pays for not being thorough, efficient, and timely in E-Discovery
December 11th, 2008 Filed Under E-discovery
In the court case Omega Patents v. Fortin Auto Radio, both the plaintiff and the judge were unhappy with the defendant’s volume of e-discovery production, which included a few documents and just five emails in a universe of tens of thousands. The defendant subsequently searched for and reviewed more than 17,000 emails, of which 2,000 were produced for plaintiff review. The court was not pleased at the long delay and ruled that the defendant had not proved the undue burden and expense of the subsequent search. The court issued a monetary sanction against the defendant.
