Coming from the IBA

March 27, 2010 – 2:28 pm

Recent developments coming from the International Bar Association (IBA) which I find worth noting are the ‘Draft revised IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration’ and the ‘IBA Guidelines for Drafting International Arbitration Clauses’. For folks familiar with the IBA website, the pdf versions may be located via their search tool.

E-Discovery and Electronic Disclosure at the Peace Palace,The Hague

March 18, 2009 – 12:27 am

I noticed the use of  the terms ‘E-Discovery’ and ‘Electronic Disclosure’ and ‘Information Exchange’ for the May Conference in the Hague.

Todd v Guidance Software – Arbitrator ordered backup data to be produced

February 18, 2009 – 5:40 pm

In arbitration, inaccessible data is data to be discovered and produced as shown in the Cassondra Todd v Guidance Software case. There’re several reports on this case which you can search via google. This report (also tweeted) gives a best guess of the timeline of the events, which I find handy to scan, read and [...]

Since my conclusion back in December 2007

November 17, 2008 – 2:50 pm

I’ve just re-read the conclusion in my research paper published here. In the litigation arena, I have found that there are many more blogs on various aspects of ediscovery coming from the US and still hardly any blogs from elsewhere. Worldwide searching/linking is still lopsided when it comes to online knowledge and information distribution. Perhaps [...]

Production of electronic documents

October 1, 2008 – 6:56 pm

The announcement at the ICC website on ‘Task Force on Production of Electronic Documents in Arbitration’ appears to me to be the start of more Task Forces to come. I do not know why the ICC specifically use the term ‘Production’. Why not just a Task Force for electronic disclosure or electronic documents? I fear [...]

Concluding remarks from my research (winter 2007)

May 2, 2008 – 6:15 pm

“Electronic discovery is a tool to help resolve a dispute and should not be viewed as a strategic weapon to coerce unjust, delayed, or expensive results.” – From the Sedona Conference Electronic discovery/disclosure is an evolving field and has already raised and heightens multiple legal, security, and personal privacy issues, many of which have yet [...]
