Court Declines to Compel Identification of Seed Set, Encourages Cooperation, published by K&L Gates

In re: Biomet M2a Magnum Hip Implant Prods. Liab. Litig., NO. 3:12-MD-2391, 2013 WL 6405156 (N.D. Ind. Aug, 21, 2013).

Previously in this case, the court ruled that Biomet need not start again on its document production for which it utilized both keyword searching and predictive coding. (See summary here.) In this opinion, the court addressed the Steering Committee’s request that the discoverable documents used in Biomet’s seed set be identified and declined to compel such identification. Despite this, the court noted Biomet’s ‘unexplained lack of cooperation’and urged Biomet to ‘re-think its refusal.’
