e-Discovery; Process of Collecting and Exchanging Electronically Stored Information

e-Discovery

 e-Discovery is the process of searching, searching, locating, and securing electronic data to be used as evidence in civil or criminal legal cases. e-Discovery performs its operation both online and offline. It can be done in a network or can be carried out offline on a particular computer. Moreover, e-Discovery helps in the creation of laws for effective use and maintenance of resources available to employees, reduce maintenance and hardware costs, and improve overall operational efficiency of the organization.

e-discovery refers to retrieval of information in legal proceedings including litigation, government investigations, and Freedom of Information Act requests where the data sought is in digital form. e-discovery allows a user to obtain records or other information as a result of a legal request under the Freedom of Information Act. It can take place through email or other online means, and may be a source of discovery for both parties. There are a variety of different types of e-discovery, and the rules governing each may vary slightly from case to case.

Discovery is generally defined as a procedure in which a party requesting information submits a request and waits for the other party to respond to that request, with the expectation that eventually that information will be produced. Discovery is intended to provide knowledge and guidance about a legal case that would otherwise not be available to the parties if the case were to be before a traditional court. In some instances, parties use pre-litigation e-discovery to obtain relatively trivial information that will be helpful in the preparation of their case.

The more standard types of e-discovery include access to email, CAD/CAM files, instant messaging chats, maintenance of online files, faxing, communications through networks such as e-mails and Internet video, and computer storage of data. With, growing number of litigations worldwide, the demand for e-discovery is also increasing. For instance, in May 2020, Relativity, e-discovery provider, planned to open new data centers in Switzerland and Germany in the third quarter of 2020. The company also planned to increase support for its Relativity Trace and RelativityOne products in Africa, Europe, and the Middle East.
