The article discusses the case between the US Dept. of Justice and Honeywell, based on allegations of the sale of defective body armor.
The article states, "Honeywell has been making a slew of e-discovery abuse allegations about the Justice Department which the DOJ blames on their e-discovery vendor and on a lack of communication among government agencies working on the case. Honeywell explains that the Department used litigation holds on their company from separate, unrelated cases instead of information pertinent to the current case. As a result, the company says that exculpatory documents were produced belatedly, or not at all, which has caused the case file to be irreparably distorted."
The article further states, "Robert Hilson of the Association of Certified E-Discovery Specialists writes that this case will put a “bright spotlight” on the government’s ability to handle electronically stored information (ESI) that may come into play during future civil and criminal cases.
The pressure is on for government agencies to work together between departments and with their e-discovery vendor."
