James Abrahams KC and Henry Edwards appeared for the successful Defendant in the Claimants’ application in each of two related actions to strike out allegations of breach of contract and misuse of confidential information, and alternatively for summary judgment.
HHJ Hacon dismissed the applications and held that the Defendant’s case based on alleged breach of the NDA carries some degree of conviction. He held that several issues and consideration of each of them by reference to the matrix of facts, must go to trial.
