The West Virginia Order Governing the Inadvertent Disclosure of Documents or Other Materials under Rule 502(b) (L R CIV P 26.4 Form) is a court order that provides procedures for the inadvertent disclosure of confidential documents or other materials in the context of civil litigation. The order requires parties to make a good faith effort to identify and preserve all documents or other materials that are privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure. The order also requires parties to notify each other immediately when documents or other materials have been inadvertently disclosed. The order is applicable to West Virginia state courts and is issued pursuant to Rule 502(b) of the West Virginia Rules of Civil Procedure. The order sets out procedures for the inadvertent disclosure of documents or other materials, including the steps to be taken to preserve privilege or protection, notification of the inadvertent disclosure, and the consequences of failing to comply with the procedures. There are two types of West Virginia Order Governing the Inadvertent Disclosure of Documents or Other Materials under Rule 502(b) (L R CIV P 26.4 Form): the original order (L R CIV P 26.4 Form) and the amended order (L R CIV P 26.4 Form A). The original order applies to all civil cases in West Virginia state courts. The amended order applies to civil cases that are pending in the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia.
