eDiscovery Search May Not Be Worth It
January 12, 2012
According to the eDiscovery Daily blog piece “eDiscovery Case Law: Plaintiff Not Required to Review Millions of Pages of Unallocated Space” eDiscovery search is in big trouble. The case I-Med Pharma, Inc. vs. Biomatrix Inc. shed light on eDiscovery search and how troublesome it can be. This case highlights the dangers of carelessness and inattention in e-discovery,” District Judge Dickinson Debevoise wrote in his ruling. eDiscovery has made its way to Congress. Attorney William Butterfield, a partner at Hausefeld LLP was one of several asked to testify before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution on the costs and burdens of eDiscovery according to the Clear Well Systems article “Q&A with William P. Butterfield on his Testimony Regarding the Costs and Burdens of eDiscovery Before the House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on the Constitution.” He and others stressed the importance of letting the Judicial Rules Review Committee continue to handle the situation instead of Congress prematurely interfering. Butterfield felt that “Nothing during the hearing led me to believe that Congress would interfere with the Rules Committee’s work and process.” Looks like eDiscovery dodged a bullet.
