Reposting- eDiscovery in India alert

September 11, 2012 – 10:45 am

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)

February 2, 2011 – 2:28 am

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 [...]

Can we really distinguish and be able to categorise data into neat buckets (or cells, columns, rows, stacks etc.)? Answer depends on who is distinguishing the data [...]

August 14, 2009 – 1:12 pm

I remembered doing a bit of research into the Constitution of the P.R.C. (for my Data Protection LLM module) back in 2003. I wondered what my synthesis would be now. Has the P.R.C. legal landscape changed over the past six years? A Chinese lawyer friend visited me (as I will be leaving town soon – [...]

E-discovery waves headed/heading East?
