CourtSingapore Court of Appeal
Year2020
StatusBinding authority

Key Principle

A modified approach to breach of confidence applies in Singapore: once confidentiality and an obligation of confidence are established, breach is presumed and the defendant bears the burden of displacing that presumption; the law protects both the plaintiff's interest in preventing wrongful gain and in avoiding wrongful loss occasioned by unauthorized acquisition or access to confidential information.
