Litigation Questionnaire – Background & Evidence

You and your company should preserve and not delete any documents, including emails or other electronic documents, that in any way relate to the litigation, or facts, claims, or defenses in the litigation. This means you must preserve and not allow any deletion (including auto-deletion) of any and all such documents. It is best to err on the side of caution and preserve all electronic and other documents, since deletion, discarding, or destruction of any relevant information can have serious consequences in litigation. Please note that this duty applies to you, your company, and to any and all of its employees with electronic and other documents. Each of your employees must be told of this obligation to preserve documents and, if their documents are not already secure in a separate hard drive that can be copied, efforts should be made to copy their files.
