I actually tried a spoliation case back in the 1990's before the CA Supreme Court ruled that it was not a stand-alone cause of action but could be used to obtain evidentiary or other sanctions against an opponent who engaged in it. None of the lawyers on my case had tried one like that. Even the judge had no experience with the claim in the context of my case. As a result, I was able to use some creativity. Great jurors. We won right down the line. Most fun I've ever had in court.
