Health care data company Veeva Systems should be found in default of a competitor’s lawsuit over theft of trade secrets because it allegedly destroyed evidence central to the claims against it, according to a motion filed by a competitor in federal court in Newark.

Among the evidence that Veeva allegedly destroyed was some a special master ordered it to produce, according to a motion filed Tuesday by plaintiff IQVIA. Veeva also allegedly lied about its conduct in order to avoid detection by the court and IQVIA, according to the motion.
