International e-Commerce and e-Discovery
In a time of ever-increasing globalization, the likelihood that a multi-national corporation will be named as a party in a lawsuit overseas is greater than ever. An increase in product liability litigation ' or any litigation, for that matter ' in the U.S. involving foreign corporations has consequently resulted in an increased need for U.S. litigants to conduct discovery and collect evidence located outside the U.S. See, ABA Section of Antitrust Law: Obtaining Discovery Abroad (2d ed.), at p. 1 (2005).
However, antithetical notions of the appropriate scope of discovery in the EU and U.S. may lead to conflict when European companies are named as parties in U.S. lawsuits, or vice versa, or when a U.S. corporation needs to gather information and discovery in Europe for litigation pending in the U.S. Accordingly, it is crucial that product manufacturers, sellers, and distributors whose products are sold and used overseas recognize and understand these differences and appreciate the potential for conflict between broad U.S. discovery procedures and stringent EU privacy and data protection laws.
