How this reference is filed

Eight groupings, and the split between them is deliberate. Disputes are grouped by the relationship they came out of rather than by cause of action, because a traffic collapse caused by a botched migration and one caused by a competitor's link campaign are the same technical analysis and completely different lawsuits. Rules and methods are grouped by the stage of a case at which they bite.

Four disciplines cover the disputes: the commercial relationship, reputation and content, trademark and competition, and technical or platform failure. Four cover the evidence: whether the opinion is heard, what has to be produced and preserved, whether the exhibit is received, and whether the inference from the data actually holds.
