News in brief

A judge has ordered that a £2m e-disclosure search was inadequate after a complaint that not enough key words were used in the search. The parties involved in the dispute did not agree on the terms in advance, leading to the judge ordering that further terms should be used. Tim Boyce, Osborne Clarke, says: “Today’s decision highlights the importance of early co-operation between opposing parties and their lawyers to ensure that e-disclosure costs are effectively managed.”
