It appears that in the United States the procedure called « Discovery » or « pre-trial Discovery documents » (Rule 26, US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) is a pre-trial investigation stage in a civil or commercial case, pertaining to evidence requests submitted after the filing of a claim but before the final hearing on the merits and thus requiring that each party disclose to the other party any evidence they possess which may be relevant to the case, even though the evidence is against the party presenting it and regardless of their localisation or form.Under the American law, the said pro...

It appears that in the United States the procedure called « Discovery » or « pre-trial Discovery documents » (Rule 26, US Federal Rules of Civil Procedure) is a pre-trial investigation stage in a civil or commercial case, pertaining to evidence requests submitted after the filing of a claim but before the final hearing on the merits and thus requiring that each party disclose to the other party any evidence they possess which may be relevant to the case, even though the evidence is against the party presenting it and regardless of their localisation or form.Under the American law, the said procedure regulated by a federal law also applies to parties whose main interests are outside the United States. Extraterritorial application seems to have escalated in severity since the Sarbanes-Oxley Act 2002.In this report, we are dealing with : first, a brief overview of the pre-trial search of evidence and differences between the former and US Discovery (1), followed by a detailed report on the provisions and application of blocking statutes (2), how the blocking statutes relate to the Hague Convention (3) and how the American judge receive the foreign blocking statutes (4). ; Parmi les cinq régimes juridiques étudiés, trois ont en partage la common law (les systèmes américain, anglais et québécois) et deux sont des systèmes de droit civil (les systèmes allemand et belge).Le droit procédural américain se distingue par le caractère très large de sa production forcée des preuves dans la procédure de pre-trial discovery et par ses velléités extraterritoriales qui conduisent, à l’occasion de procédures de la compétence du juge américain, à imposer cette production à des parties étrangères, pour des preuves situées à l’étranger. Des mécanismes de droit procédural - les commissions rogatoires internationales et des mécanismes de droit substantiel - les dispositions nationales de blocage - tentent d’apporter des réponses.
