In the volume of pretrial data turned over by bankrupted Remington to nine Sandy Hook families suing for wrongful marketing, lawyers said they found 18,000 random cartoons and 15,000 irrelevant pictures of people go-karting and dirt-biking.
I've seen discovery requests. They typically say "responsive documents include, but are not limited to, any and all emails, calender entries, notes, etc, etc. related to Subject X". And then they want a log of everything you exclude with identifying details of the document and the reason it was excluded.
Now, you can sort through all of your employees emails and log all the irrelevant ones and then risk the other side complaining that you withheld something relevant, or you can do a dump of everything and let them sort it out. It's more defensible and a hell of a lot easier to do the latter- remember, you don't get reimbursed for the time it takes responding to the other side's discovery requests.
Remington's lawyers are being dicks for the lawyer of it, in my opinion, whether you agree with the case or not.
