Cases

Service Corp International plc & Anor v Channel Four Television Corp & Anor

Facts

P ran a large number of funeral homes in the UK. A was a reporter with D2 who secured a job with P, and made undercover film recordings. D2 used the information and film so obtained to prepare a documentary which D1 proposed to broadcast, accusing P of various malpractices. P initially complained of prospective libel and breach of confidence. P then sought an injunction, contending that A had obtained access to its funeral home by deception, that A and/or D1 and/or D2 therefore held the copyright of the recordings on trust for P; and that the information obtained by A was confidential.
