Under German civil procedural law, a party generally is not obliged to contribute to the production of evidence against his or her own cause. The opposite is true in the US system of pre-trial discovery. This divergence is potentially disruptive because in certain circumstances, 28 U.S.C. § 1782(a) allows the parties in a German civil litigation to seek discovery in the US. Fabian Klein asks how German courts should deal with evidence thus obtained.
