Let's talk antitrust: Discussing recent cases and emerging competition issues
Recent cases and judgments have shone a light on some emerging themes and trends that companies will want to consider as part of their risk management framework.
Because of heightened privacy and data security risks, the time has come to change the culture around the use of redactions in civil discovery.
In the digital age, courts should be more accepting of redactions to protect irrelevant information from production in civil discovery. Redacting irrelevant personal and commercial information poses little risk or prejudice to requesting parties and provides tangible benefits to producing parties who need to protect the privacy of their employees and customers, and the value of their commercial information. Historically, courts have permitted redactions of non-privileged material only in exceptional circumstances and generally limited them to privileged communications in otherwise responsive and non-privileged documents. Given heightened privacy and cybersecurity concerns, this culture must change.
