In my opinion, if a client made verbal threats or communicates via
letter or e-mail stating an issue that could lead to litigation, I would
check with your legal department (as part of the normal process) before
destroying/purging/deleting the pertinent information according to
normal policy.  Another example can be an unresolved audit; or an
inquiry by a federal or state regulatory agency alleging violations,
irregularities, etc.

Steve,  What type of actions(at the employee level) would raise the
flag
if litigation is strongly anticipated.  Thanks for the correction-
You're
right.

Re: Legal Hold Question

You cannot consider it as a "possibility" or the organization would
have
to place nearly every record series on hold.  Pending or strongly
anticipated
would warrant it though.
