Answer to Question 1

A major issue in e-discovery is the cost of producing records. What is the cost to recover and produce a tape backup? And of what value is it unless reproduced in some usable form to manually review or electronically scan and review? Production of electronic documents can often result in huge unanticipated costs. Developing search queries and executing them can cost many hours of time, as well as the cost of attorney time in document review. Forensic consultants can also be costly. Costs of restoration and production of records in a usable form can also have substantial costs.

Answer to Question 2

It is important for firms to establish and maintain a document retention and destruction policy so it can destroy files and records in the ordinary course of its business without fear of legal sanctions. The policy should include standards as to what matters may possibly bring litigation, and what documents must be preserved that are related to the potential litigation.
