'The authors breathe new life into this complex, recondite branch
of the law. An illuminating and penetrating study of an ancient
remedy whose importance endures - and even increases.' - Raymond
Wacks, University of Hong Kong This concise yet detailed book
explores the historical foundations and modern developments of the
ancient doctrine of breach of confidence. The authors show that
despite its humble beginnings, stilted development and air of
quaintness the doctrine has modern relevance and influence, its
sense of 'trust and confidence' still resonating with the
information society of today. Topical chapters include, 'Inventing
an equitable doctrine', 'Privacy and publicity in early Victorian
Britain', 'Searching for balance in the employment relationship',
as well as many others. Breach of Confidence will make insightful
reading for all those interested in issues of privacy and
information, and will appeal strongly to practicing lawyers and
judges as well as academic researchers and postgraduate law
students.
