The Challenges

There are significant challenges associated with complying with a SO52, particularly where the scope of the SO52 is broad. This can result in the need to review tens of thousands of documents in a seemingly impossible timeframe which is typically 7, 14, 21 or 28 days (high volume of documentation to find, review and collate. Sensitive information etc ).
Starting the collation of documents and review process early is KEY.
As SO52s are the new norm for NSW Government, being prepared and acting early are critical and should be part of the planning for all NSW Government legal teams. Agencies should also consider, at an early stage, deploying a technological solution to assist with complying with a SO52 – this is where Law In Order’s eDiscovery solution (relativity) can help.
