Litigation Hold
A litigation hold is issued by the General Counsel, who notifies appropriate DOE contacts when litigation involving DOE is ongoing or reasonably anticipated. A hold Suspends any and all disposition actions on records that relate to or are affected by pending or ongoing litigation. Using a litigation hold ensures the records are available for use during court proceedings. Programs should suspend disposition actions for records identified as responsive to the litigation hold notice.
