Book Description
The result has been rapid development of the law in many diverse areas. The Law of Confidentiality: A Restatement goes behind the mass of cases to tease out the fundamental principles underlying the modern law. It examines the central questions of substance: the circumstances in which information is protected by law, and how it responds to conflicting public interests. It also looks at the important practical questions of procedure and remedies. It aims to be useful to those looking for a guide to the main principles and controversies in the field, and also to the practising lawyer looking for a clear statement of the basic principles.
Editorial Reviews
Review
…this is an extremely engaging account of the law of confidentiality…it will be a useful resource to practitioners seeking to find their way through the labyrinth of authorities and to identify clear and workable principles on which to proceed…It is highly recommended, and a final word of congratulation must also go to the publishers, Hart Publishing, on the fine production qualities of the volume they have produced.
Paul Stanley has marshalled the main body of primarily English case law on confidential information into an extremely clear well-written, engaging, and succinct exposition…Stanley’s book is certainly a valuable contribution to the field. It is extremely helpful in the setting out of the contours of the law confidence, alerting the reader to the more controversial issues, and providing a conceptual framework through which to view a complex area of the law. It achieves what it sets out to do and would recommend it to practitioners and academics alike.
