First of all, let's dispose of the "indeliberate" part of the question; If such a document subsequently came to light, you would have to prove to the court's satisfaction that the concealment was, in fact, a mistake, an error, or "indeliberate." If the act of withholding the document WAS deliberate - and ESPECIALLY - if it affected the outcome of the legal action in question - In addition to causing the entire matter to be re-heard or re-tried, the individual withholding it could be charged with any one of a number of offenses, including (but not limited to); Obstruction of Justice - Contempt of Court - Concealment of, or Tampering with, Evidence - Etc. If the individual knowingly concealing the document was an attorney - they could be investigated by the Bar Association for ethics violations and sanctioned or possibly dis-barred.
