SJC Approves Amendments to Rules of Civil Procedure
The Supreme Judicial Court announces amendments
to the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure that address the
discovery of electronically stored information (ESI). Rules 16, 26, 34,
37 and 45 have been amended effective January 1, 2014. The changes
were recommended by the Court's Standing Advisory Committee on the Rules
of Civil Procedure in response to the increasing growth of information
in electronic form. In drafting the amendments, the committee drew on
the 2006 amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure addressing
ESI and the 2007 Uniform Rules relating to the discovery of
Electronically Stored Information.

Be It
Resolved that the Standing Committee rules be adopted as the Standing Rules of
the City Council insofar as they are
applicable.
SJC Approves Amendments to Rules of Civil Procedure
Addressing Discovery of Electronically Stored Information
As stated in the Reporter's Notes, a major focus of the committee was to establish procedures to: deal with ESI early in the litigation; address how to handle ESI that may be inaccessible; address how to handle inadvertently disclosed privileged ESI; and provide protection when ESI is lost through the good faith operation of electronic information systems. The new rules will apply in all courts and proceedings governed by the Massachusetts Rules of Civil Procedure.
