Evolving e-Discovery Case Law

The 2006 and 2015 sets of amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) stand as key markers that define the obligations of e-discovery professionals. New rulings are issued day-after-day, month-after-month, and year-after-year, that slowly refine organizational e-discovery requirements.

Recent case law has influenced e-discovery in 4 major areas:

  • Proportionality: Courts are looking closely at proportionality factors for determining appropriate scope for cases as they move away from “discovery about discovery.”
  • Preservation and spoliation: Courts are focusing on the spirit of FRCP 37(e) and looking for curative measures rather than punitive sanctions.
  • Cooperation: Courts demand good faith negotiations between opposing parties for reaching agreements on the scope of the discovery process.
  • Cross-border discovery: GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), and other privacy regulations have big implications for discovery processes of the organizations, as they have to balance potential conflicts arising from how they can use data of any individuals.

Government branches across the globe have acknowledged the value of electronic records for various investigations. Various institutions, such as The Civil Division of the US Department of Justice, have been insisting on the impotence of such electronic records. The implementation of GDPR, as well as the passage of the California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA), are just the leading edge of a trend that will definitely have a major impact on the e-discovery industry in the future.
