Waste companies battle it out in court over confidential information

ONE Fifty One plc and five former senior managers of Mr Binman Ltd, a large Midlands waste company, have all undertaken before the High Court not to use confidential information about Mr Binman’s business which was allegedly wrongly downloaded by one of the managers.

The undertakings by the defendants were announced yesterday by Mr Bill Shipsey SC, for Mr Binman, to Mr Justice John Hedigan.

On that basis, an application by Mr Binman for an injunction in the same terms against all six pending the hearing of the full action did not proceed.
