DC Sets New Metdata Rules

"We conclude that when a receiving lawyer has actual knowledge that an adversary has inadvertently provided metadata in an electronic document, the lawyer should not review the metadata without first consulting with the sender and abiding by the sender's instructions. In all other circumstances, a receiving lawyer is free to review the metadata contained within the electronic files provided by an adversary."
