Voyage of eDiscovery

"I came across an interesting question recently: How does e-discovery in Canada differ from e-discovery in the United States? Given the close cultural and historical bonds between the two countries, I expected litigation and e-discovery to be closer than it really is. Here is our overview of the situation: The Canadian provinces exert tremendous control over e-discovery practices and procedures in common and civil law. There is no corresponding natural statute such as the U.S. Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, making e-discovery in Canada difficult to affect on a unified national principle."
