On December 16, 2008, the Michigan Supreme Court approved changes to several discovery rules which took effect on January 1, 2009. The new rules reflect several important changes including: A party need not produce e-documents if they are not reasonably accessible; A party will not be sanctioned for failing to preserve e-documents if they were lost as a result of the routine good faith operation of an electronic information system; and Increased likelihood of early scheduling conferences with the court to discuss e-discovery issues.
Miller Canfield is conducting a webinar on this topic for its clients and business contacts on Thursday, January 29, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. For more details and to register, please contact Virginia Herrick at 313.496.7548 or email Herrick@millercanfield.com.
