However, many of us have not kept up with the pace of change. For example, it is still too often the case that opposing sets of solicitors in complex litigation fail to have meaningful discussions about electronic disclosure at the early stage of a dispute, resulting in the whole disclosure process becoming longer, more confusing and more costly than necessary. Now in its second edition, Electronic Evidence which seeks to inform us of (i) what it is; (ii) how to collect, store and analyse it; and (iii) how to best use it to persuade a court, tribunal or other party of our client’s point of view.
Stephen Mason has brought together an international team of contributors for the book; the second edition of which is apparently the only full text on the subject.
