Can you have 2 different Legal holds on the same items?

Hello all,

consider the following scenario:

a DA search is done for 10 custodians for a period of a month.
The result is placed on Legal hold, for 5 years.

now a new DA search is done for 2 custodians (who are in the above search also) for the same period.
This result is placed on Legal hold for 7 years.

The results for both searches will have the same items found for both users.
If the legal hold for the first search is lifted, will the items be kept for another 2 years?

In otherwords, can you have the same item in a diffirent search, with different legal hold periods?

  • Yes, a single item can have multiple holds.  It will not be deleted until the last hold is released.
