Italy: Access to Medical Documents in Italy in Connection With The Right of Privacy
02 August 2004
Article by Guido Alberto Inzaghi
In Italy, access to medical documents and records, such as prescriptions, held by the Public Health Authority, the
Azienda Sanitaria Locale (a local health agency) or other similar public bodies is subject to control limitations in
connection with the laws concerning the right of privacy. Italian Law No. 241/90 (article 25) states that there is a
general right for individuals and/or companies to have access to administrative documents collected by the Public
Administration in carrying out its duties.

United States: Litigation Going Paperless - An Introduction to The Complexities of EDiscovery
28 July 2004
Article by Sheryl Willert and Jeffrey M. Wolf
Today's business communications and data are routinely stored in digital media (e-mail, web pages, word processing
files, computer databases, personal digital assistants, and telephone voicemails). For the typical business, a large
percentage of this information is stored digitally and never printed to hard copy.
Legal scholars and practitioners alike have commented that the current Federal and State Rules of Civil Procedure
have not kept pace with the realities of the digital age.1 The following is an introduction to some of the complexities
involved with preserving and producing e-discovery and proposals that are being made to address these issues.

Canada: Canada’s New Privacy Laws—What Employers And Plan Sponsors Need To Know
06 August 2004
Article by Elizabeth Mcnaughton, Caroline Helbronner, Barbara Austin and Kathryn Bush
This article was originally published in Blakes Bulletin on Pension & Benefits - January 2004
Federal and emerging provincial privacy laws on handling personal information will have a profound effect on
employers, benefit plan administrators and sponsors. In fact, privacy procedures and policies should already be in
place in your organization.
On January 1st, 2004, as almost every business owner and manager has likely heard, the final phase of Ottawa’s
privacy legislation came into full force and now applies to all federally and provincially regulated private sector
organizations.

United States: U.S. Court Affirms Employer’s Right to Read Employees’ Email
06 August 2004
Article by Charles H. Kennedy
U.S. law gives employees few protections against employer surveillance of their workplace communications. Even
without express employee consent, U.S. employers generally may listen to workplace telephone conversations, read
messages sent to and from corporate email accounts, and record and disclose the contents of employee
communications. Employees that bring legal challenges to these practices rarely succeed in U.S. courts. The recent
decision of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Fraser v. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, which upholds
an employer’s reading of an employee’s electronic mail email ("email") messages, typifies the obstacles that
complaining employees face under U.S. law. 1
