...

Withers pointed out that two principles, Principle 12 on “metadata” and Principle 14 on sanctions for the loss of electronic data subject to discovery, received heightened attention from the Working Group.

...

“The Sedona Principles, Second Edition” is available free of charge for individuals to download from The Sedona Conference® web site, www.thesedonaconference.org. ..."

These Principles are important for anyone in the legal (including in-house legal, general counsel, etc) and electronic data discovery (EDD) industries.

That's where this document may help. You'll be able to see what the lawyers, judges, past precedence are saying and thinking about electronic data discovery.
