So my questions are:
(a) How likely is it that a legal practice with 30 + staff not be able to download PDF files from a DVD-RW?
(b) What would be the largest PDF data set you could attach via a gmail avcout through btinternet?
I should add under the civil procedures rules, you are expected to pre agree the method of transfering data, perhaps this is what the solicitor is relying on? who knows. I will look up the data set.
One possible answer for (a) is that the disc wasn't finalised correctly, an unfinalised DVDRW disc will allow more files to be added on the original computer but to any computer trying to read it will appear blank.
