LitSavant Conformity Engine - Features

The LitSavant Conformity Engine operates by allowing users to create Logics.  A Logic is equivalent to an event handler in that it evaluates a set of tests and then performs actions based on the result of those tests.  Each logic is associated with one or more layouts and contains one or more Conditions which the application evaluates.  Each Logic is also associated with one or more Result Processes - these are actions for the application to undertake and can be set to run when the Conditions evaluate as either true or false.

The key features of the application are

  • Configuration of event handler like functionality from within Relativity using standard Relativity interface
  • Securable using the standard Relativity security model
  • Instant activation and inactivation of individual Logics
  • Ability to modify individual Logics as and when required
  • Ability to define and reuse Conditions which are stored within a Conditions library
  • Conditions can reference any custom object as well as the document object
  • Result Processes can be configured with custom messages

Current functionality allows for three basic Result process types.  More are planned.  The current supported Result Process types are:

  • Send a message to the user onscreen
  • Send an email to a designated user
  • Write data to a field

Disclosure

The process formerly known as discovery by which documents are exchanged between parties in litigation in England and Wales.  Technically the process has three phases - a) disclosure - making it known that the documents exist by providing the other party with a list, b) inspection - allowing the other party to look at the documents c) the provision of copies.  Typically all three phases are dealt with together.  Unlike the US, production of documents is initially driven by "push" i.e. there is an obligation on a party to disclose their documents which are material to the case.  For full details see CPR 31 and PD 31.

Acceptable conduct

The standard of acceptable conduct is determined through experience. In the discovery context, the standards have been set by years of judicial decisions analyzing allegations of misconduct and reaching a determination as to what a party must do to meet its obligation to participate meaningfully and fairly in the discovery phase of a judicial proceeding. A failure to conform to this standard is negligent even if it results from a pure heart and an empty head.
