Thomson v. US HUD precluded from introducing
into evidence in their case any of the 80,000
email records that were "discovered" during last
minute.
Anti-Monopoly, Inc. v. Hasbro, The law is clear
that data in computerized form is discoverable
even if paper hard copies of the information
have been produced.
