The court found that defense counsel in the underlying discrimination matter failed to make any effort to understand the discovery of cloud-based data, relented to their client’s false assertions about access to the data and made inaccurate statements about the status of the data. The Crowell blog post provides a thorough description of the decision as well as the eDiscovery responsibilities of counsel.
