Employee's duty
of confidentiality
If an employee leaves his employment and then either sets up his own
business or joins another business, then uses confidential knowledge gained
from his former employer to enrich or benefit himself or his new employer,
the employee will be liable in damages to his former employer. Recently
there was a short discussion on this point and some reference to recent
authority on the point. The employee was held to be liable to account
for the profit derived from the transaction. I have lost that reference.
Does anybody recall the point and if so give me a pointer?
