This is a reissue of Gurry's definitive study of Breach of Confidence. Though much has changed since the book first appeared in 1984, the quality of this study is such that it remains in constant demand among practitioners and scholars. The revolution in intellectual property law and the protection of trade secrets in particular requires lawyers to approach the subject with increasing sophistication and clarity, qualities which Gurry's classic study exhibits in abundance.
