Article summary

Information law analysis: The High Court has dismissed an application for an injunction to protect the claimant’s confidential information by restraining a solicitor’s firm from acting for a defendant in design infringement proceedings. The court found that the likelihood of confidential information being shared was low due to an effective information barrier in place at the solicitor’s firm.
