Use of a Hammer and of Wiping Software to Destroy Evidence Results in Dismissal of Plaintiff's Claims : Electronic Discovery Law In this case, the Magistrate Judge found that dismissal of Plaintiff’s claims was warranted for his “egregious” discovery conduct, including physically destroying a relevant computer with a hammer and using both Evidence Eliminator and CCleaner to erase potentially relevant evidence. The court also recommended that Plaintiff pay Defendant’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred as a result of the spoliation. On appeal, the recommendations were adopted by the District Court. http://bit.ly/Ur64iW Source: http://www.ediscoverylaw.com/2012/11/articles/case-summaries/use-of-a-hammer-and-of-wiping-software-to-destroy-evidence-results-in-dismissal-of-plaintiffs-claims/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+ediscoverylaw/klgates+(Electronic+Discovery+Law) See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/Ur64iW+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
