defence in an action for breach of confidence then the exemption is not maintained. 35. In Coco -v- A N Clark (Engineers) Limited [1968] F.S.R.415 Megarry J identified a three part test to determine if the obligation of confidence is brought into being. These parts are first that the information must have the necessary quality of confidence. Secondly the information must have been imparted in circumstances importing an obligation of confidence. The third element is that there must be unauthorised use of the information. 36. Coco also referred to whether a claimant would need to show detriment resulting from the unauthorised use.
