At what price is ‘Access To Justice’?

June 28, 2009 – 5:30 pm

At what price is ‘Access To Justice’?  Taming e-disclosure via costs management by the court? When parties are in disputes, do they think about the costs of getting their differences resolve? If they do they will think twice before going to court and/or litigate. Thinking about the costs associated with civil litigation is further aggravated [...]

e-lessons learned blog

May 25, 2009 – 2:22 pm

I came across a blog from twitters which I find rather interesting. Nowadays, there’re so many blogs on ediscovery and most of them seem to repeat or rehash what have been blogged or reported elsewhere. The e-lessons learned blog is refreshing and worth keeping an eye on.The current posts examined the Zubulake cases from different [...]

The Times They are A Changing – some secrets are out!

March 18, 2009 – 2:55 am

I was feeling nostalgic listening to Bob Dylan’s music and remembered my times in Zurich (back in the 1997/8) especially the stories and tales about the gold vaults underneath the streets of Zurich! I wish I can trace my friends and ex-colleagues in Zurich so that we can re-visit and re-craft the tales in the [...]

E-Discovery and Electronic Disclosure at the Peace Palace,The Hague

March 18, 2009 – 12:27 am

For information, the electronic discovery database is maintained by K&L Gates and here’s the blurb: “Electronic Discovery Case Database  K&L Gates maintains and continually updates a database [...]

Todd v Guidance Software – Arbitrator ordered backup data to be produced

February 18, 2009 – 5:40 pm

In arbitration, inaccessible data is data to be discovered and produced as shown in the Cassondra Todd v Guidance Software case. There’re several reports on this case which you can search via google. This report (also tweeted) gives a best guess of the timeline of the events, which I find handy to scan, read and [...]

a newly coined word – protodigital

December 9, 2008 – 10:25 pm

Checkout Ralph’s blog on Why E-Discovery is Ruining Litigation in America and What Can Be Done About It In the world of IT and wearing my project manager hat on, ediscovery/edisclosure is another ‘activity’ to add to the list of items to consider.

November 30, 2008 – 6:13 pm

The Data Protection Act was given a new ‘shine’ in the name of new laws on data sharing. Check out at the Ministry of Justice website Information Commissioner to be given tougher powers’. Besides giving the Information Commissioner tougher powers, organisations will need to improve transparency and accountability when dealing with personal information. From the [...]
