LitSavant Conformty Engine - Technical Specification

The LitSavant Conformity Engine is a standard Relativity application. As such, it is installed from an xml file.  The LitSavant Conformity Engine is supported on Relativity version 7.3 and higher.

When installing into Relativity version 7.3 you will only be able to load the application by using the Relativity Desktop Client.  You will also need system administration privileges.

When installing into Relativity version 7.4 you can load the application using the Relativity Desktop Client or via the web interface on the applications tab.  After the application has been installed for the first time in any given Relativity instance it will also be available for installation in a workspace via the application library.  As with version 7.3 you will need system administrator privileges to perform the initial installation.

Once the LitSavant Conformity Engine has been installed there is no additional technical specification for running it other than that it needs to operate under a user account with system administrator privileges.

The internal architecture of the LitSavant Conformity Engine includes familiar Relativity Objects (Views, Fields and Layouts) as well as some custom Objects and Rules.  Taken together these objects store the parameters for the logical operations that the user wants the system to do.  A series of Event Handlers then go ahead and actually execute those operations.

Prior to the CPR the test under the rules was that any document "relating to any matter in question" was discoverable. The courts took a very wide view of what was covered by this. The test was laid down a long time ago when no-one had the quantities of paper they have now…

…What is now required is that, following only a "reasonable search" (CPR 31.7(1)), the disclosing party should, before making disclosure, consider each document to see whether it adversely affects his own or another party's case or supports another party's case. It is wrong just to disclose a mass of background documents which do not really take the case one way or another. And there is a real vice in doing so: it compels the mass reading by the lawyers on the other side, and is followed usually by the importation of the documents into the whole case thereafter - hence trial bundles most of which are never looked at.
