“Menu” of different disclosure options which can be agreed by parties or ordered by the courts for individual issues.
Parties expected to cooperate according to a fixed timetable leading up to the first case management conference to agree on an electronic disclosure plan and exchange protocol. The Courts provide some guidance but is flexible in respect of what will best suit the circumstances of each matter and what will facilitate the just resolution of the proceeding as quickly, inexpensively, and efficiently as possible.
The approach to disclosure is required to be outlined using the Disclosure Review Document (including an outline of expected costs, document volumes and the scope of any extended disclosure). This DRD should be exchanged no more than 14 days before the Case Management Conference.
Review of data over 50,000 documents strongly encouraged to leverage Technology Assisted Review.
