In OCS Group UK Ltd v Dadi, OCS had been granted an interim injunction against Dadi (D) which included, prohibiting him from disclosing confidential information belonging to OCS, requiring him to preserve hard copy and electronic documents and not to disclose the existence of the Order to anyone else. D deleted a substantial number of emails from his account and told other people about the Order. The High Court found the breaches to be deliberate and wilful and imposed a six-week prison sentence on D to mark the Court’s strong disapproval of his conduct and to act as a deterrence both in respect of his further compliance with the orders and as a warning to others who might be tempted to flout the orders of the court.
