The facts sound like a typical e-Discovery case, but quickly you feel very sick. Two employees were accused of misappropriation of trade secrets. A Federal lawsuit was filed in Florida. As one can guess, electronically stored information would be key evidence in the lawsuit. Dana Ltd. v. Am. Axle & Mfg. Holdings, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 88474 (W.D. Mich. Aug. 26, 2010).
The Plaintiffs retained an expert and shipped the computer hard drives for forensic examination to Michigan and forwarded them onto their Florida office.
The hard drives went missing sometime after they were shipped.
