The flagship title in the CFL Electronic Evidence Series and the most complete reference we publish. Thirty sections across five parts take a matter from information governance and litigation readiness, through preservation, identification of sources, forensically sound collection, processing and early case assessment, search, review, privilege and redaction, to production, presentation at trial and disposal. It is written from the English starting point, CPR Part 31, Practice Direction 31B and Practice Direction 57AD in the Business and Property Courts, and then shows stage by stage where United States practice diverges, so teams running matters that touch both systems can work from one document.
