Summary: | The Applicant requested e-mails of former Nalcor board members. Nalcor provided e-mails from its internal database, but the Applicant complained that Nalcor ought to have provided e-mails from board members' personal e-mail accounts as well. Nalcor stated that the personal e-mail accounts of former board members were not within Nalcor's custody or control. The Commissioner concluded that in order to complete a reasonable and adequate search, Nalcor ought to have at a minimum asked the former board members for relevant e-mails, and recommended that Nalcor do so. |
