From January 1, 2019, a new Practice Direction intended to reform various aspects of the document disclosure process will run in the Business and Property Courts of England and Wales. This two-year Disclosure Pilot Scheme (DPS) redefines disclosure duties and introduces five extended disclosure models.

Whereas there are the legal and case considerations that will impact decision making in respect of the DPS, with the assistance of an appropriate team of technologists, it is also essential to fully consider the technology dimension and how different methodologies and processes can influence the decisions that need to be made.

To help guide firms through this, A&M’s Disputes and Investigations team has highlighted the newly introduced disclosure models and duties, aligning each of them with the various technology-focused considerations.
