The ‘problem’ being ‘non-issue’ or ‘the issue’ or a ‘multi-million dollar issue’

October 7, 2010 – 10:06 am

The opening statements from eDiscovery Advice from A Fellow Traveller; I am not an eDiscovery expert, and I am not selling eDiscovery services. This post is for the masses not the specialist. It is from one fellow traveller to another fellow traveller. Mmm… I guess the specialist will also read it, perhaps more drawn to [...]

A reckoning with reality

April 26, 2010 – 7:03 pm

Is there such a thing as ‘reality’? I guess the answer depends on where one draws a line or whether a line can indeed be distinguished and/or drawn. 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 [...]

I am currently hopping around London and elsewhere too. So a quick post on what’s new in the Data scene. Check out the ICC’s site on news coming from the European Commission on changes to the Standard Contractual Clauses.

My first blog from Beijing

October 12, 2009 – 4:10 pm

I am slowly getting used to not having ‘full access’ to the world wide web in the widest and wildest sense of the word in the so called connected world of information. I have no access to my own websites (the Ning.com social sites are blocked!) and no posting on Facebook and Twitter. Gosh, what [...]

An example of a Piecemeal Approach – Personal Information Protection

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?

July 5, 2009 – 5:37 pm

I just found this E-Discovery and Digital Forensics GEC conference via my search radar. Is this a good indicator that the e-discovery waves have reached the shores of Asia? I am sure there are other Asian regional and local meetings and conferences on e-discovery being hosted amongst other annual conferences and events. Perhaps soon there [...]

Behind the E-disclosure scenes

July 2, 2009 – 1:40 pm

It has been unusually hot in (South) London. Not sunbathing and not complaining about the weather but a different kind of complaint. I was stranded for nearly one and half hour in a no power train yesterday and couldn’t help hearing several angry and frustrated mobile exchanges between couple of businessmen with the South East [...]
