East Bridge Lofts Prop. Assoc., Inc. v. Crum & Forster Specialty Ins. Co., No. 2:14-cv-2567-RMC, 2015 WL 12831731 (D.S.C. June 18, 2015)

Key Insight: Where Plaintiff sought forensic examination of email accounts not searched by Defendants, the court acknowledged the ?expense and difficulty? of such examinations and reasoned that ?mere skepticism? that relevant information has not been produced is insufficient to warrant such drastic measures and thus denied the request; court reasoned Defendant had failed to reveal the search terms utilized to identify responsive documents in searches of three other email accounts and that Plaintiffs had established the relevancy of all of the requested accounts and ordered the parties to meet and confer as to an appropriate search methodology for all accounts

Nature of Case: Insurance litigation: bad faith

Electronic Data Involved: Forensic examination of email accounts
