Description:

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​This guideline details the steps required for Government of Alberta (GoA) employees to identify, preserve, collect, process, and produce records responsive to active (or reasonably anticipated) litigation (e.g., a legal proceeding, investigation, audit, formal inquiry, and/or request for information). A coordinated information discovery process will ensure a repeatable and defensible process for litigation response activities across government.​​
