If you are contract attorney/temporary attorney or a contract forensics consultant or paralegal, or involved in some aspect of e-discovery work, and you’ll be in NYC next week,  you should go.  No, not necessarily pay the $695 single-day attendance fee if you cannot afford it.  Because a lot of LegalTech events are open to everybody.

District Court Rejects Total Dismissal of Claims, Orders Partial Dismissal and $75,000 in Monetary Sanctions for Egregious Discovery Violations : Electronic Discovery wet

Bray & Gillespie Mgmt., LLC v. Lexington Ins. Co., 2009 WL 5218035 (M.D. Fla. Augustus. 3, 2009);Gillespie Mgmt., LLC v. Lexington Ins. Co., 2010 WL 55595 (M.D. Fla. John. 5, 2010)

Following her finding that “[Bray & Gillespie], through counsel, acted willfully and in bad faith in violation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and this court’s orders” by failing to make reasonable efforts to search for and produce documents in response to court orders and by making repeated misrepresentations to the court, onder andere, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the plaintiff’s claims be stricken and that the case be dismissed with prejudice.  (For additional details of plaintiff’s discovery abuses, click here to be taken to a summary of a prior opinion in this case.)  On review of that recommendation, the District Court Judge found total dismissal of all the plaintiff’s claims “an excessive remedy” and instead ordered the dismissal of all claims for damages arising from the alleged interruption of business at the Treasure Island Property and for the plaintiff to pay $75,000 to the defendant for expenses incurred in pursuit of its motion for sanctions.

In its opinion, the District Court acknowledged the egregious nature of plaintiff’s and plaintiff’s counsel’s many discovery failings.  Despite these many violations, evenwel, the court found the sanction of total dismissal of all claims “excessive” and chose instead to dismiss only the claims related to the Treasure Island Property, the property for which the late discovered evidence was relevant.  Declining to adopt the Magistrate’s recommendation, the District Court found the defendant’s contention that the plaintiff’s failure to produce the Treasure Island evidence prevented the defendant from interviewing persons who could describe the condition of the Resort “unpersuasive” where the defendant admitted that certain relevant individuals had been “available to Defendant since the inception of litigation” and had not been interviewed.  Also, the defendant’s appraisers had access to the relevant property throughout the relevant time period and took photos of the property to support the defendant’s case.  The court also noted that the plaintiff’s conduct “has only related to the production of folios for the Treasure Island Property” and that “[t]o speculate without any evidentiary support that Plaintiff’s conduct in this area undermines the integrity of all discovery provided in the case is not appropriate.”

Rechter van oordeel gegevens “Redelijkerwijs niet toegankelijk,” Ontkent Motion te dwingen : Electronic Discovery wet

Rodriguez-Torres v. Gov. Dev. Bank van Puerto Rico, 2010 WL 174156 (D.P.R. John. 20, 2010)

In dit geval is arbeidsdiscriminatie, de rechtbank vond de elektronisch opgeslagen informatie ("ESI") gevraagd door de eisers "niet in redelijkheid toegankelijk vanwege de onnodige lasten en kosten", en dat eisers niet had goede reden zien om de productie van de ESI te dwingen en ontkende eisers 'motion te dwingen.

Plaintiffs filed a motion to compel defendants’ production of “all email communications and calendar entries describing, relating or referring to plaintiff Vicky Rodriquez, both inbound and outbound from defendant GDB’s messaging system servers” for the years 2007, 2008, and 2009.  Moreover, plaintiffs sought to compel such production “in native format with its original metadata…”  Defendants objected and indicated that plaintiffs’ request was likely to produce “hundreds if not thousands of documents which will include irrelevant, confidential, and potentially privileged information.”

Prior to ruling, the court ordered additional briefing on the issue.  The parties&na; submissions included a report from a consulting service indicating an approximate cost of $35,000 to retrieve the requested ESI.  Defendants also indicated the need to perform a privilege and confidentiality review of the ESI prior to production.  Accordingly, the court found the requested ESI “not reasonably accessible” reasoning that the proposed cost was “too high of a cost for the production of the requested ESI in this type of action.”  Moreover, the court indicated its concern over the increased cost that would result from the need to review the documents prior to production stating, “the volume of such information along with the form in which the information is stored makes privilege determinations more difficult and, correspondingly, more expensive and time consuming.”

FTC naar Silicon Valley: Tech bedrijven moeten beschermen Consumer Data – Forbes.com

Washington wants to know: Why can’t technology protect consumersprivacy instead of violating it?

The Federal Trade Commission met today in Berkeley, Californië, with corporate technology leaders and privacy advocates, challenging them to create ways to protect consumer privacy online. The FTC is encouraging technology companies such as Facebook and Apple (to come up with self-regulatory tactics that will protect consumers without squashing corporate innovation.

Technology companies should be doing more to protect people, says Pamela Jones Harbour, the FTC’s commissioner. “Apple requires all developers to submit potential apps for review,” Harbour says. “Through that process, the company could do more to regulate privacy disclosures.” Evenzo, she says other companies should be taking more steps to protect consumer privacy.

The brainstorming session was the second of three the FTC has held before planning to draft new laws this summer that will control how consumer information is collected and used on the Web. Scrutiny of consumer privacy violation on the Internet has grown over the past several years, as technology advancements arm marketers with new ways to target potential buyers. Companies are buying consumer data from sources such as consumer surveys, loyalty programs and Web and mobile applications to identify potential consumers who are then tracked online and off to deliver more relevant advertising.

Experts fret over iPad security risks • The Register

Apple’s much hyped iPad tablet may come tightly locked down but the device is still likely to be affected by many of the security issues that affect the iPhone, as well as some of its own.

Security experts polled by El Reg were concerned about a variety of risks, in particular phishing attacks and browser exploits.

Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, commentaar: “The iPad, from the sound of things, will be as locked down as the iPhone. Hackers will no doubt try to jailbreak it. But the main threat would be phishing and browser exploits.

Malware related risks may also trouble the iPad. The only risks to affect the iPhone to date have relied on a very small but well publicised number of worms (g. ikee) that exploited default passwords and open SSH shells on jailbroken iPhones.

Evenwel, while the iPad uses the same OS as the iPhone, it is more powerful; that means attacks based on doctored PDF files may potentially become a risk, explained Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs.

The device is really close to an iPhone, so we should expect a similar security. Evenwel, unlike the iPhone, it would be able to open PDF documents by default.
