Equity – Breach of confidence. The claimant sought summary judgment in his action for breach of confidence and misuse of private information, concerning the disclosure of information of a sexual nature. The Queen's Bench Division, in granting summary judgment, held that the defendant had no real prospect of successfully defending the claim on its merits, or showing that a court would withhold the grant of a permanent injunction or other compelling reason why the claim should be resolved at trial. It further granted the defendant permission to amend his application notice so as to seek permission to bring an application to commit the claimant to prison for contempt of court.
