如果以「E-discovery」或「Electronic discovery」的英文關鍵字鍵入 Google 中搜尋,
可以找到數量多到看也看不完的資料,以及大量以討論這個議題為主的網站和部落格。
雖然新法的生效時間為 2006 年 12 月,但自 1999 年左右,開始研擬修法之際,甚至更 早前,美國的產、官、學界即熱烈的參與這項議題的討論。畢竟,新法對實務之影響可 謂極為重大,無形中也加重了企業以及訴訟代理人之責任。
反觀國內,在資料蒐集的過程中,幾乎可以說完全找不到任何詳細討論本議題的相 關資料。從這裏即可以窺見,國內環境對美國民事訴訟認知上的落差。隨著明碁、以及 最近的華碩案,相信台灣企業未來因為違反證據開示,而受到制裁的情況,將有可能愈 來愈多。
美國聯邦民事訴訟程序法第一條所揭櫫的精神:「每件民事訴訟皆應確保獲得公 正、迅速與不昂貴之判決242。」因此,高昂的訴訟費用,已不符合美國聯邦民事訴訟程 序法之立法目的。但每一個經驗豐富的律師都了解,證據開示程序的爭議,在現今的商 業訴訟中,已成為一個不可預知的黑洞。無止境的爭議不但會延宕訴訟的進行,亦會增 加訴訟成本,甚至受到法院課以罰金,或不利益的判決結果。證據開示程序畢竟不是訴 訟爭議的本體,但是如果忽略它,卻有可能因而左右案件的成敗。
當然,在新法施行未久的今日,在缺乏足夠的案例參考下,如何規劃方不致違反美 國聯邦民事訴訟程序法的規定,其實仍是個疑問。然而,企業只要平時能做最好的準備,
面臨訴訟時,僅需將精力放在爭端本身即可,毋須過分擔心其他的旁枝末節會影響訴訟 結果,相信如此必能將成本及不必要的爭端減至最低。
242 FED.R.CIV.P. 1. “…They should be construed and administered to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action.”
