Overview
Steptoe London partner Neil Dooley was quoted in a New Law Journal article titled “Litigation Trends – Over disclosure? Why costs aren’t working.” The article, published on June 16, discusses The Jackson Reforms, Summary Assessment, and the decision on predictive coding in Pyrrho Investments in relation to the rising cost of litigation.
Mr. Dooley tells New Law Journal that the obligation to give disclosure has not changed and that the Pyrrho Investments decision will not be the answer in every case. Mr Dooley says “Pyrrho simply confirms that in an appropriate case the coding technology is sufficiently sophisticated to replace the usual keyword and manual reviews” and that “you will always need to deploy significant resources reviewing the other party’s disclosure.”
