Motion granted ordering remedial steps for breach of a protective order regarding confidential information.
The defendants brought a motion to enforce a Protective Order after the plaintiff's co-founder disclosed confidential information to the plaintiff's foreign counsel in breach of the order.
The Associate Judge declined to impose the requested sanction of dismissing part of the Statement of Claim, finding insufficient prejudice and lack of nexus.
However, the Associate Judge ordered the plaintiff to take specific remedial steps to ensure its foreign counsel cease using the information, destroy or return it, and report on compliance.
Costs of $15,000 for the motion and $8,000 for an abandoned motion were awarded to the defendants.
