A 'Discovery Request' is a legal procedure where organizations are required to identify and disclose relevant data in response to a judicial order or legal proceeding. It involves finding and preserving information from individuals and business systems that may be pertinent to a transaction or dispute.

There is an exception, deemed the “discovery rule,” which allows extra time to file the claim if the plaintiff was unaware of the injury until after two years had passed.
