Brandofino Commc’ns, Inc. v. Augme Techs. Inc., No. 652639/11, 2014 WL 302227 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Jan. 24, 2014) (unpublished)

Key Insight: Where parties had each produced documents in text-searchable format for review in Concordance, and defendants made later, supplemental electronic productions in several ?massive? PDF files without any metadata and abruptly refused to follow prior practice, court granted plaintiff?s motion directing defendants to produce all documents in text-searchable format with necessary Concordance load files given that plaintiff?s initial document requests specified such format, defendants? initial production was made in accordance with those instructions without any objection, and sheer volume of documents at issue required production in an accessible format that allowed for easy sorting and searching

Nature of Case: Breach of contract

Electronic Data Involved: ESI and Concordance load files
