This article is part one of a three-part series examining the emergence of electronic courtrooms internationally. First up, a look at the UK.
It all began in 2011 with what was reported at the time as the most expensive private litigation ever brought before a British court. Valued at more than $9 billion, the trial was a massive dispute involving two Russian billionaires, Roman Abramovich and Boris Berezovsky. The proceedings generated a trial bundle containing 5,257 e-discovery documents in multiple languages, along with hundreds of expert reports and case law/research citations, not to mention the countless applications/motions, real-time court transcripts, witness statements, exhibits, pre-trial orders—the list goes on. Apart from the sheer size and the publicity it generated, the case stands as a seminal event in the evolution of electronic litigation in European courtrooms.
