Breach of Confidence
Breach of Confidence is a business tort theory that arises when two parties have a confidential relationship in which confidential information is shared. If a party wrongfully discloses or uses the confidential information and thus causes the other party to be damaged, that party may sue to recover their damages.
A confidential relationship often arises when two parties enter into a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or other type of Confidential Information Agreement. If one party breaches the terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) by using the confidential information of another for their own business purposes or by wrongfully disclosing the confidential information to another person or business, these acts may give rise to a breach of contract claim as well as the business tort of breach of confidence.
If you have valuable confidential information, it is critical that you take adequate steps to protect it by entering into a Non Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before releasing the information to another party. If you need assistance in the preparation of a Non-Disclosure Agreement, or the legal review of another party’s Non-Disclosure Agreement, Gaston & Gaston APLC is prepared to assist you.
