Challenging The Use Of Illegal Means To Obtain Confidential Information

As a matter of reasonable consistency, it cannot be permitted to one party to secure and hold documents of confidential nature, which belong to another party, without any prior legal authorization to this effect, i.e., without previously securing a relevant court order (Norwich Pharmacal/Disclosure order), which authorizes such a kind of disclosure.

With a recent order of the District Court of Nicosia, Cyprus, Rusal's affiliated companies have been ordered to destroy all of the information they had illegally obtained when a Bank in breach of the client-bank confidentiality relationship "surrendered" full details and information in respect to the bank accounts of their client-defendant without such order of the Court.
