Sectrack NV v Satamatics Limited & Anor. [2007] EWHC 3003 (Comm)
Commercial - Injunctions - Contract - Confidential Information
Edward Cohen - This was a decision of Flaux J. in the Commercial Court on an application for the continuation of an interim injunction. The case involved disputed allegations of breach of a distribution agreement relating to satellite communications equipment and of misuse of confidential information. The judgment contains, in particular, interesting observations about the test to be applied in deciding whether information relating to customers contained in a computer and e-mail system can properly be categorised as confidential information so as to be protectable by injunction and the principles to be applied in deciding whether or not to grant/continue springboard injunctions, as well as a useful analysis of the principles of non-disclosure in applying for without notice injunctive relief.
