Governor Approves Electronic Discovery Act

DateThursday, July 2, 2009 at 10:54AM

The Electronic Discovery Act, which was approved by Schwarzenegger on June 29, provides procedures for dealing with those seeking in discovery "electronically stored information."  By and large, the Act codifies what parties and courts have been doing in practice, including specifying the need on the part of any responding party to show why any such requests by unduly burdensome or expensive and, if so, requiring the demanding the party to show good cause of its production.  The Act also recognizes that expenses can be allocated and that a production should be required on "terms and conditions that are just." (A link to the Act is here.)
