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 [...]

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 [...]
