ECA

Early Case Assessment: a widely abused term in which corporate data is sifted and categorised with a view to determining an organisation's exposure in the context of a dispute. The best ECA systems allow the sifting to take place within a corporation's own data store and can be used to drill down rapidly to identify the most pertinent evidentiary material and to facilitate decisions whether to litigate or settle.

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.
