On June 27, 2016, the English High Court approved the use of predictive coding over the objection of one of the parties.
The opposing party argued that predictive coding should not be used to carry out the disclosure review since the process would not be accurate and relevant documents could be missed. The requesting party argued that predictive coding was more reliable and costed half of a manual review. The High Court approved the use of predictive coding despite the Claimant’s objections.
