]]> Comment on How well do you understand your email system? Litigation is not the time to find out. by Barclay http://barclaytblair.com/how-well-do-you-understand-your-email-system-litigation-is-not-the-time-to-find-out/comment-page-1/#comment-587 Barclay Thu, 15 Dec 2011 19:49:05 +0000 http://barclaytblair.com/?p=1027#comment-587 Yes, good question. I believe the issue is that there was a disagreement about what was disclosed prior to the contract being signed, and which was thus the basis for the contract, i.e., "The Defendant was especially interested in obtaining email communications evidencing the fact that GFI had received copies of the promissory notes which contained the lock-out features. Although the Defendant was certain Plaintiffs should be in possession of such emails, they were not produced. . . . When GFI did not produce this email or many others that American Federated sent to GFI regarding the transaction, American Federated became suspicious of GFI's willingness to fulfill its discovery obligations in good faith."

I mean, how a real estate is financed, loans, mortgages et al., are such fundamental parameters of any transaction that they usually make a good part of the contract. So, in my (as mentioned outside US) view, if it's not written in the contract between seller and buyer, or the seller has not formally informed the buyer (e.g. by letter asking for a modification of the contract) about the change in financing, I would clearly say that the seller is to be found guilty. Prioritizing the contract may have avoided *any* effort regarding collecting emails. Juerg Barclay,

]]> Comment on Let’s define “Information Governance” by Naina Visani http://barclaytblair.com/lets-define-information-governance/comment-page-1/#comment-471 Naina Visani Wed, 31 Aug 2011 17:11:56 +0000 http://barclaytblair.com/?p=531#comment-471 probably a lot later than the original post, but here is my favourite definition of IG: Information governance is a holistic approach to managing corporate information by implementing processes, roles, controls and metrics that treat information as a valuable business asset. BTW - like your blogs on this topic probably a lot later than the original post, but here is my favourite definition of IG:
