Back-up tapes and e-Discovery
Great summary by ediscoverylaw.com of a California case where ignoring backup tapes results in another opportunity for sanctions. By the way, discoveryresources.org is now streaming the ediscovery law feed.
One might reasonably believe that the New Rules (amendments to the FRCP), with the two tiered discovery (accessible and inaccessible) distinction and the safe harbor for inadvertent destruction would protect a company and its counsel if such facts were presented to a federal court in December 2006.
Not so much.
Why not?
