A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

October 22, 2008 – 12:24 am

Last week, I went to the second e-discovery conference held in Victoria, London and heard an interesting speech (no slides presentation) by Master Whitaker, Senior Master, Queen’s Bench Division. Master Whitaker shared his thoughts and insights on edisclosure which was probably the highlight or spotlight of the conference. Most of the presentations held over the [...]

An insight into what could emerge from even a ‘spillover’ event ran loosely based on the Open Space Technology (OST).

September 29, 2008 – 2:52 pm

The ‘spillover’ event is the BCS BarCamp5 Spillover held on Saturday 28th September at the BCS Office in London. I was notified of the BarCamp event just two days before the planned event. Before the actual day, it seems to be a momentous event for the BCS as reported in the BCS blog. Having attended [...]

A Conference for ‘up & coming’ arbitration practitioners – Establishing Your Case in International Arbitration

September 17, 2008 – 9:33 am

No E-Documentation or edisclosure mentioned on this ICC UK / CIArb joint conference. Perhaps the ICC UK and CIArb do not wish to remind those wishing to refresh their knowledge of evidence and legal submissions on the ‘growing issue as a result of the electronic exchanges of documents between parties’. Surely the ‘growing issue…’ as [...]

US and UK/EU Legal & Compliance “Hot Topics”

May 16, 2008 – 12:24 am

It doesn’t look like ediscovery is under the “Hot Topics”. Maybe ‘ediscovery’ is too hot to handle. The topics listed under the programme, such as recording, securing and accessing client communications are mostly to do with Know Your Customer (KYC). It would be interesting to hear the recent lessons from the compliance officers and also [...]

Party autonomy & the English Arbitration Act 1996

April 29, 2008 – 11:24 pm

Just as there are international conventions guaranteeing recognition of party autonomy, there are mandatory rules (e.g. arbitrability, due process that limit and constraint on the types of issues that can be submitted to arbitration and the effectiveness and enforceability of the arbitral award) overarching the extent of party autonomy. Mandatory provisions may vary from country [...]

The Compliance, Security or Operability questions for E-Discovery

April 28, 2008 – 9:38 pm

  Last week I went to the infosecurity Europe event in London as I was attracted by the keynotes titles and the interactive theatre. Besides returning home with three different caps/hats, one even has a battery attached to it (stress balls seems to be out of fashion for the security nerds and herd, which is [...]

a collusion of laws,regulations & standards on e-mails

April 18, 2008 – 10:07 pm

I wondered if the term, collusion to mean ‘interplay’ (or more precisely in the old etymological sense of playing fairly together?) could be used in the context of looking at the various laws, regulations and standards surrounding e-mails. According to Prof. Tony Hoare at a BCS evening talk, the collusion of the Science of Programming [...]
