What is needed to make SA the global centre for managed document review? Probably not that much I would suggest.
Well, we have waited since 2013 for POPIA to be implemented and now, from 1 July a number of sections are in force meaning that entities have until 1 July 2021 to be compliant.
For 5 years now I have been saying that POPIA and eDiscovery work hand in hand in a number of ways and it is unfortunate that we have had to wait so long for POPIA and of course are still waiting for eDiscovery to be incorporated into our Uniform Rules. However, they can work together now because eDiscovery technology is already here to right some wrongs and also protect the rights and privacy of individuals and entities. Let us take a peek at how this can happen.
