Duty to preserve evidence

It is well established that the duty to preserve evidence arises when a party reasonably anticipates litigation.

"[O]nce a party reasonably anticipates litigation, it must suspend its routine document retention/destruction policy and put in place a 'litigation hold' to ensure the preservation of relevant documents."

A plaintiff's duty is more often triggered before litigation commences, in large part because plaintiffs control the timing of litigation.
