PDF files on DVD-RW
I have a problem I sent a solicitor who I have put on notice as the co-defendent in a legal dispute. The documents in PDF format on the DVD-RW run to 310 pages mostly text, the file size is 217.910 Kb. The reason I put it on a DVW-RW was because I guessed that the data was too much to add as an email attachment.
The solicitor responds stating the DVD-RW had nothing on the disc, I rechecked it on two laptops using Windows !0, and the files were there. Personally I think he is playing games. So my question is as follows:
(a) Is there any reason why this solicitor would claim the disc was blank or he couldn't open the files? I should add most law firms use PDF and have IT support. Also this firm has 30+ staff so somebody must know how to do it.
(b) Would the above file, bearing in mind of the size attach to Gmail, via BT internet?
Finally, the UK Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) state that you should check with the other side that the method of transfering electronic data is agreed in advance, I guess he is playing on the CPRs, but I have a feeling it will not go as an e-mail attachment. He could ask for a hard copy but that is alot of printing and hassle for me at this stage.
