Cases

Jockey Club v Carphone Warehouse Ltd

Issue

Did the principles established in Norwich Pharmacal as explained in later cases, apply here? In other words had Carphone Warehouse by coming into possession of information, become mixed up in the activities of others? Was it under a duty to assist the Jockey Club where it had been shown that there was a legitimate interest to satisfy in the acquisition of information held by the party who had been mixed up in a particular matter? Further, in considering the matter from the viewpoint of the client of the defendant, whose right to privacy may, to some extent, be infringed by the granting of the order, was such infringement as would be involved in the disclosure of his identity and his telephone records, a matter which was proportionate to the matter in issue, and encompassed within the general ambit of Article 8(2)?
