EARLY COMMITMENT TO THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY
In 1993 the parties to the cases all agreed on the use of an electronic form of discovery involving the imaging of all documents relating to the cases. The “Discovery Protocol” that was developed included a descriptive naming format for all documents, the "Bprod". Standard forms for:
- the collection of data,
- document naming, and
- types of images to be produced,
were also agreed.
The early establishment and continued commitment to the protocol and standards allowed for flexible use of the information collected, in turn this resulted in extensive use of pre-hearing technology.
