Section 18 - Retention Requirements(1) Original documents and documents containing original signatures. An eFiling that is scanned image of either an original document or a document containing an original signature must be maintained in paper form by the eFiler until all periods for appeals have expired, unless it is an original document that was either required by law to be filed with an agency or officer or filed conventionally with the court. Original documents or documents containing an original signature are not required to be retained if the signature is that of an attorney or named party in the case who may personally verify and give proof as to the authenticity of the signatures. Upon the request of the court or other party, the eFiler must provide the original document for review or inspection.(2) Discovery documents. Pursuant to CR 5.06, the party responsible for service of a discovery document not filed of record, including interrogatories, requests, and answers and responses thereto, notices, and subpoenas will be the custodian and must retain the original document. The custodian must provide access to all parties of record during the pendency of the action.Ky. Admin. P. Ct. Justice. 18
