Company Suing Google for Infringement Is Sanctioned for Deleting Emails |
The Recorder
in a deposition, PersonalWeb employee Jake Drew claimed president and chief
executive officer Mike Weiss told employees as early as May 2011 that the
company "planned on filing lawsuits against major technology companies."
Drew also said Weiss told employees to purge their emails in October of
2011.
Other PersonalWeb employees disputed Drew's statements, though, and said
instead that Weiss told employees to retain documents.
The magistrate judge found that, no matter Weiss' statements, PersonalWeb
was still operating on an email deletion policy, even though it was
embroiled in litigation. That, he wrote, is the very definition of
spoliation.
