A salacious case, involving a groping allegation by superstar Taylor Swift, offers two sober lessons about e-discovery: (1) the difficulty of prevailing on a request for an adverse inference to be drawn from spoliation of evidence; and (2) the critical importance of seeking lesser discovery sanctions in a timely manner prior to seeking the adverse inference sanction.
