Document retention programs for electronic records: applying a reasonableness standard to the electronic era

Article Abstract:

Corporations must generate and store many records, and the length of time that corporations must retain their records has traditionally been judged according to a reasonableness standard. Society's interest lies in enforcing this standard. However, the advent of electronic records has greatly increased the risk that retention of records will lead to liability. Consequently, a reasonable document retention program for electronic data will entail longer retention periods than previously.
