District Court Allows Taxation of Costs Related to Electronic Discovery
In re Aspartame Antitrust Litig., 817 F. Supp. 2d (E.D. Pa. 2011)
In this case, the court addressed plaintiffs’ motion to deny or reduce defendants’ bill of costs, and in particular their objections to the costs related to electronic discovery. Recognizing that “taxing e-discovery is a new area of law where courts have diverged in their approaches,” the court denied plaintiff’s motion as to many of the costs at issue but did disallow or reduce some costs, including those incurred for the convenience of counsel.
