Sanctions and Other Things that Go Bump in the Night
Sunday is Halloween, so it seems appropriate to try to “scare” you before the big day. Does this scare you?
“pervasive and willful violation of serial Court orders to preserve and produce ESI evidence be treated as contempt of court, and that he be imprisoned for a period not to exceed two years, unless and until he pays to Plaintiff the attorney’s fees and costs that will be awarded to Plaintiff as the prevailing party”
What about this?
“From this Court’s perspective, a monetary sanction of $150,000 should be sufficient to compensate Plaintiffs for their added expense and deter SanDisk from taking shortcuts.”
Or this?
“For his misconduct, Peal has already received a severe sanction in having his complaint dismissed with prejudice.”
How about this?
“A party does not need formal notice to know that spoliation of evidence and misrepresentations may lead to dismissal.”
Scary, huh? If the possibility of sanctions keep you awake at night, then the folks at eDiscovery Daily will do our best to provide useful information and best practices to enable you to relax and sleep soundly, even on Halloween!
