The appellants appealed a trial judgment, arguing the trial judge erred in her factual findings and misdirected herself on the legal principles regarding confidential information by focusing on ownership.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no palpable and overriding error in the trial judge's factual and credibility findings.
The Court also held that the lack of proof of ownership of the confidential information was highly relevant, as there was no evidence the appellants had the legal right to compel its return or were authorized agents of the owner.
