Questions
1. What constitutes a business email?
2. Medical information has to be held for ten years. So as email is unstructured...how can business information and medical be separated to comply with retention periods? If the business information is to be deleted and the medical part retained...the document is no longer the original and therefore cannot be used as evidence in court.
3. In order to produce electronic mail in court you must be able to prove that the emails are the originals and have not been tampered with as per (2). In today's climate who will be collecting every email including spam to make sure human error does not interfere?!
