A demand in litigation for the production of metadata needs to be clear and
precise and, depending on the facts, surgical in nature and limited in
scope. The implication of the failure to appropriately and timely seek the
production of metadata when allegedly needed to establish a point was
addressed in *Threadstone Advisors v. Success Apparel*.3 There, the court
expressly noted that defendant's "insinuation" that a certain list was
generated for the purpose of litigation is an "argument the court will not
consider and if it wanted to prove that the List (a spreadsheet, likely
saved as an Excel or Word file) was created after-the-fact, it could have
and should have sought the metadata for the file containing the list."
