English term or phrase: legal hold

Context:
A “legal hold” suspends all document destruction procedures in order to preserve appropriate records under special circumstances, such as litigation or government investigations. XXX’s Law Department determines and identifies what types of records or documents are required to be placed under a legal hold. Every XXX employee, agent and contractor must comply with this policy. Failure to comply with this policy may subject the employee, agent or contractor to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment or business relationship at XXX’s sole discretion. XXX’s Law Department will notify you if a legal hold is placed on records for which you are responsible. You then must preserve and protect the necessary records in accordance with instructions from the XXX’s Law Department. RECORDS OR SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PLACED UNDER A LEGAL HOLD MUST NOT BE DESTROYED, ALTERED OR MODIFIED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. A legal hold remains effective until it is officially released in writing by XXX’s Law Department. If you are unsure whether a document has been placed under a legal hold, you should preserve and protect that document while you check with XXX’s Law Department. If you have any questions about this policy you should contact XXX’s Law Department.
