Im folgenden Fall dreht sich alles um zwei Festplatten, einen selbst gekauften Laptop, einen ehemaligen Mitarbeiter, dessen ehemaligen und nun klagenden Arbeitgeber und die beiden neue Arbeitgeber. Insbesondere möchte ich die Leser auf die Argumente des Beklagten hinsichtlich der beiden in Rede stehenden Festplatten aufmerksam machen. Es stimmt mich immer wieder froh, dass auch in anderen Länder bei der Ausbildung zum Volljuristen offensichtlich darauf aufmerksam gemacht wird, dass ein Vergleich zwischen vorgebrachtem Argument und dem Sachverhalt, der nach der Lebenserfahrung als tatsächlich gegeben angenommen werden kann, vorzunehmen ist. Das Gericht hat eine Abwägung vorgenommen. Mithin kann man davon ausgehen, dass der alte Juristen-Satz noch immer Gültigkeit hat: es kommt eben darauf an. Nur worauf eigentlich?

Beard Research, Inc. v. Kates, 2009 WL 1515625 (Del. Ch. May, 29, 2009) (Unpublished)
In this case, arising from plaintiffs’ claims that defendants interfered with business relationships and misappropriated trade secrets, plaintiffs sought sanctions against defendants for the destruction of information on a laptop computer which belonged to defendant Michael Kates, a former employee of plaintiffs. The court refused to award default judgment, as requested, but ordered an adverse inference against Kates and ordered monetary sanctions against Kates and defendants Advanced Synthesis Group (“ASG”) and ASDI, Inc. (“ASDI”) resulting from Kates’s destruction of a relevant hard drive and ASG’s and ASDI’s failure to take reasonable steps to prevent that destruction.
Dr. Michael Kates was employed by plaintiffs between 1997 and February 2004. In mid-2003, while still employed by plaintiffs, Kates purchased a Gateway laptop for business purposes. Between 2003 and early 2004, Kates’s relationship with plaintiffs deteriorated. In December 2003, Kates resigned from plaintiff C&B Research & Development, Inc. (“CB”) and on February 13, 2004, Kates also resigned from plaintiff Beard Research, Inc. (“BR”). Kates began working at ASG three days later and eventually went to work for ASDI; he continued to use the Gateway laptop. ASDI provided management services for ASG and both plaintiffs and defendants were involved in the sale of chemical compounds through a catalog, among other things. On May 4, 2005, CB and BR filed suit against Kates, ASDI, ASG and others.
Discovery was contentious and plaintiffs eventually filed three motions to compel. The third motion sought production of Kates’s Gateway laptop. Upon production of the laptop, plaintiffs’ expert discovered evidence of extensive deletions. Accordingly, plaintiffs filed a motion for sanctions. Following the court’s discussion …
