The defendants sought to strike out claims for breach of confidence brought by their former employers, saying that the claim was an abuse of process. The claimants said that the defendants had left their employment to set up a competing business in Denmark using confidential information wrongfully copied by them before leaving.
Held: On the papers, the court could not decide that the claimants had no basis for the claim, and could not be struck out without a proper hearing as vexatious.
