Challenges around the volume, variety and velocity of electronically stored information (ESI) in the disclosure process have conflicted with the civil courts’ overriding objective of dealing with cases justly and at proportionate cost. An attempt to solve the problem was originally made in the 2013 Jackson Reforms to the CPR, but it became clear that this existing framework was not working, as the cost, scale and complexity of disclosure had become disproportionate to the issues and the value of disputes.
