On July 12, a federal district court imposed a $3 million punitive sanction
pursuant to the recently amended Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(e). GN
Netcom, Inc. v. Plantronics, Inc., No. CV 12-1318-LPS, 2016 WL 3792833 (D.
Del. July 12, 2016). The sanction was imposed on a corporate defendant
because one of its executives deleted emails in anticipation of, and
during, litigation. In imposing the sanction, the district court attributed
the executive’s bad faith email deletions to the corporate defendant,
despite the corporation’s extensive document preservation efforts.
