Cases

White v Withers LLP & Dearle

Comment

This is the first decided case supporting the principle that the mere receipt and retention of a spouse’s personal documents, a very common feature of matrimonial litigation (as exemplified in the Hildebrand line of cases), in the course and for the purposes of divorce proceedings should not be actionable as a misuse of private information or breach of confidence.
