*Fidelity Nat. Ins. Co. v. Captiva Lake Invs.*, 2015 WL 94560 (E.D. Mo.
Jan. 7, 2015). In this insurance case, the defendant sought sanctions after
alleging the plaintiff spoliated evidence and caused a prejudicial delay in
production. The defendant argued that the plaintiff did not implement a
legal hold and deleted thousands of potentially relevant emails. The
defendant also argued that the plaintiff allowed data in its database to be
overwritten, destroying discoverable evidence. The plaintiff asserted that
the defendant was not prejudiced by the loss of emails because it still
received a substantial amount in the course of discovery. Further, the
overwriting of data on the claim database was a routine operation. The
court imposed sanctions on the plaintiff, including an adverse jury
instruction and attorneys’ fees

"The problems of our economy have occurred not as an outgrowth of
laissez-faire, unbridled competition.
They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the
umbrella of federal regulations."
Senator Ted Kennedy, in defending trucking deregulation in 1978.
