What is the general issue? BUSINESSES LOCATED IN THE US, OR DOING BUSINESS IN THE US, ARE SUBJECT TO US COURT JURISDICTION, AND MUST “PLAY BY THE RULES” OF US LITIGATION, INCLUDING DISCOVERY RULES. SUCH BUSINESSES, HOWEVER, MAY HAVE INFORMATION RELEVANT TO THE LITIGATION, BUT LOCATED IN OTHER COUNTRIES, WHERE DATA PRIVACY AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS PRECLUDE TRANSFER OF THE INFORMATION TO THE US FOR LITIGATION PURPOSES
Why is this important? COMPANIES INCREASINGLY OPERATE ON AN INTERNATIONAL BASIS, AND DATA INCREASINGLY IS LOCATED IN MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONS. THUS, COMPANIES ARE INCREASINGLY LIKELY TO BE SUBJECT TO THE CONFLICT, AND LITIGANTS INCREASINGLY REQUIRED TO COPE WITH THE CONFLICT IN LITIGATION.
