An article by Victoria Ramsey appearing on the lawgazette.co.uk Law Society Gazette website.
This article provides warning from Lord Justice Jackson in the U.K. regarding the need for solicitors to understand eDisclosure.
The article quotes Lord Justice Jackson as stating, "‘I hope that solicitors will take seriously the need to have the relevant person present at the first CMC. Fundamental decisions are likely to be made about disclosure. If the person who is responsible for disclosure and understands what material exists does not attend, inappropriate costs orders may be made with drastic costs consequences for the client.’"
At present, the parties spend time trying to agree on reducing potential sources of data which means that the minimum work required is in fact, if the litigants have the option of having all their opposition will be very difficult for them to resist. This will make a period for the companies to disclose and a lot of additional expenditures for customers.
