ABSTRACT
In dismissing an appeal against the decision of the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court (IPEC) in Trailfinders Ltd v Travel Counsellors Ltd and Others [2020] EWHC 591, the Court of Appeal of England and Wales held that an equitable duty of confidentiality arises when the recipient of information is reasonably expected to have made enquiries in relation to the confidential nature of that information but fails to do so.
