Data Privacy Day January 2014

Last Tuesday 28th February, I joined with couple of other PhD research students at City University London to celebrate Data Privacy Day #DPD2014. Although it was planned last minute the event went ahead and the speakers gave interesting and lively privacy related talks. Many thanks to the speakers, Mr Jonathan Turner and Mr David Haynes, [...]

Not just ESI

The US Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (FRCP) 37(e) – on preservation, is pending revision. Note the commentary at aceds.org. Preservation orders and the rules on Electronically Stored Information (ESI) are complex areas for policy makers and also IT folks. Some of these issues I have raised in my article and also briefly during my [...]

Surveillance – my keyword from the year 2013

Idiot’s Guide or Dummies Book

The most difficult aspect of edisc(overy)/(losure) is writing a definitive, complete book covering all the elements of edisc that satisfies everyone or is suitable for general release. So, will a Dummies Guide or an Idiot’s Guide to edisc make it to this year Xmas book list? Perhaps an unlikely Xmas event. What has been stated [...]

Reposting- eDiscovery in India alert

My Asian alerts on e-discovery highlighted that ediscovery in India is a local affair, confined to the Indian jurisdiction. The blog alert is from Techno Legal News. Will the rest of the world also follow the approach taken by the Indian to ‘controlling’ e-discovery in the name of ‘legality and acceptability’? Just a short posting [...]

Data, data on the screen (or in the cloud)

Who is the fairest & lawfully of all? One (possible) answer – the devil is in the detail, and assuming that is – one can get hold of the detail. I wonder whether one can determine ‘the fairest and lawfully’ when one do get hold of the detail. If you’re looking for the detail, then [...]

Trends and the missing dots

I rarely twitter/tweet unless I want to follow-up something – a twitter recorder/alerter? I guess I am not a savvy Twitter user and have not found a good reply to even a simple question as ‘what is Twitter?’ I was recently asked (by a non techie) ‘what is twitter?’ I said ; An online system [...]
