I just broached this question in a casual conversation with one of the
attorneys in the corporate legal department where I'm temping.
His 'take' on the issue was that if you have a competitor who is
providing a similar product to yours and they're sued, you'd better
make sure that all your files are in order also.
Here, competitive intelligence seems to be the factor - he mentioned
that you never want your executives to take the stand and testify 'of
course, we knew that Company X had been sued, but we destroyed our
records anyway.'
As with so much of the law, the answer seems to be 'it depends...'
