Technology Today: Recent Developments in Recovering E-Discovery Costs
June 11, 2012
Litigation partners Christopher Boehning and Daniel Toal authored an article that discusses a recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit regarding the recovery of e-discovery costs. The article, "Recent Developments in Recovering E-Discovery Costs," appeared in the "Technology Today" section of the June 5 New York Law Journal. The authors review the Third Circuit's decision to narrowly interpret the law regarding recovery of fees and costs for the reproduction of documents, excluding the "vast majority of e-discovery expenses." They note that other courts have interpreted the law differently, allowing for recovery of a broader range of e-discovery costs, and recommend that litigants monitor the decisions of the controlling authorities in their jurisdiction until the issue is resolved.
