Ltd MANU/DE /0740/1999: 81(1999)DLT122INTRODUCTION: In the current scenario, in the era of globalization and technological boom where the economy is becoming highly technological and day by day more competitive, competent and experienced employees are inevitable. Considering the current market situation, employees are becoming less loyal to their company than in recent decades. Frequency of employees changing companies, sometimes leaving their jobs and working for competitors or themselves. In this climate of change, therefore, it has become... means of paper... a detriment to the employer, to which the employee had access during the course of the service. The Court referred to the Market Investigation vs. Ministry of Social Security and held that the four-fold control test, the ownership of two, the possibility of profit and the risk of loss determine whether the relationship was a service contract or a service contract. In the above ruling, an associate lawyer of a law firm walked away with the details of the list of clients and their addresses. In issuing an interim injunction, the court found that this was a case of breach of trust or confidence. The Court also held that a court must intervene to restrain a breach of trust regardless of any rights under the law. Such intention need not be express but implied as the breach of such trust is independent of any other rights set out above.
