Minimum time for preservation?
Authored by: tknarr on Tuesday, August 21 2012 @ 02:15 AM EDT

The last I was involved in something like that, the legal minimum was the length of the action including all appeals. Once you have a duty to preserve, that duty (and the duty to disclose any relevant information to the other parties) continues at least until either the judge rules you don't have to preserve anymore or the case is closed one way or another. It can probably extend longer depending on circumstances, those are only what I'm fairly sure of as minimums.

Not brilliant at all

Just shows she was smart enough to catch one of her errors as
she should have stop that when Apple first raised it when
Samsung provided evidence that Apple was not doing as
ordered. As Judge Aslup has shown numerous times, this should
have been resolved before the trial started. It would be
extremely unfair to now tell the jury after the fact rather
than allowing the Jury to determine if this really influenced
their understanding.
