Deepwater dispute underscores need for e-discovery policy

An article by Gareth Morgan published on the computing.co.uk website.
This article discusses the ongoing litigation over the Gulf Oil Spill between BP & Halliburton.
The article states, "This week, BP filed documents in a federal court in New Orleans accusing Halliburton of deliberately destroying documents relating to the case – charges Halliburton disputes.
BP has asked the court to force Halliburton to turn some of its computers over to a third-party for examination.
Being compelled to hand over company servers to a third party can have a deleterious impact on an enterprise – and while it's a step that UK courts are only likely to take in extreme circumstances – it highlights the need for battle-hardened e-discovery processes, Shane Gleghorn, a partner at law firm Taylor Wessing told Computing."
