Rupert Butler appeared in the High Court on 27th July and 10th August, representing Premier Model Management Ltd in a claim made against a former employee involving serious fraud and breach of contract. It is alleged that the employee tried to gain an unfair competitive advantage for a new model management venture set up by himself and his business partner while he was still an employee at Premier Models and that he passed on confidential and copyright material.
A successful application for disclosure was made against the former employee to disclose all confidential information or property in his possession that belonged to his former employer.
