>>Another factor to keep in mind when dealing with PST files and
discovery, is the 2004 case involving Verisign where the company was
required to produce the files in .PST format since that was the native
format.<<
That would be logical under the Best Evidence Rule (standard disclaimer
applies...I am not an attorney). If the .pst files exist, they would be
produced. However, if their were no .pst files available, I doubt very
much that such an order would have ever been issued.
