Description

Obtaining Discovery Abroad 3rd Edition ISBN 9781641057202

The sharp increase in U.S. litigation involving foreign parties or conduct occurring abroad has made the collection of evidence outside the United States an increasingly common and critical challenge. Antitrust litigation, in particular, has led this global expansion. When parties or key witnesses are located overseas, the ability to obtain evidence effectively from foreign jurisdictions is often essential to the success of a case.

Obtaining Discovery Abroad, Third Edition provides a comprehensive guide to the methods and legal frameworks for collecting evidence located outside the United States. The opening chapters examine the requirements and limitations imposed by U.S. law when discovery must be conducted abroad. Subsequent chapters analyze the role of international discovery treaties and conventions to which the United States is a party, as well as the impact of applicable local laws in the jurisdictions where the evidence is located.

The remainder of the book offers detailed, jurisdiction-specific guidance, addressing the laws and procedures governing evidence collection in Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
