Extract

Under what circumstances may a solicitor or forensic accountant who has obtained confidential information from a client act against him? This question was considered by the House of Lords in H.R.H. Prince Jefri Bolkiah v. KPMG [1999] 2 W.L.R. 215, where the House reconsidered Rakusen v. Ellis, Munday&Clarke [1912] 1 Ch. 831 and found the criticisms, both academic and judicial, of the test laid down by the Court of Appeal to be well founded.
