Summary:
The defendants manufactured and marketed the plaintiffs' "Clamato juice" under licence in Canada. When the licence was terminated on 12 months' notice, the defendant used confidential information as to ingredients and production processes to develop and market a similar, competing juice. The plaintiffs sued the defendants for damages for breach of confidence and sought injunctive relief. The trial judge found the defendants liable for breach of confidence for misusing confidential information, but denied injunctive relief. Damages were assessed as the cost of hiring a consultant to develop the competing product in-house without using the confidential information (later assessed at $29,761.20). The plaintiffs appealed against damages and the denial of an injunction. The defendants cross-appealed against liability.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal, in a judgment reported 79 B.C.A.C. 56; 129 W.A.C. 56, allowed the plaintiffs' appeal respecting damages, and granted a permanent injunction against all defendants. The court rejected the "consulting fee" valuation of damages. Damages equalled the profits the plaintiffs would have made, in the 12 month period following termination, had they (instead of the defendants) sold the volume that was marketed by the defendants (i.e., lost profits on assumed sales). The court dismissed the defendants' cross-appeal against liability. Liability for breach of confidence was no longer in issue. The sole issues on the defendants' appeal and the plaintiffs' cross-appeal was the appropriate assessment of damages and whether a permanent injunction should issue. The defendants submitted that the plaintiffs should receive zero damages, as the defendants were not an insurer of the plaintiffs' profits in the 12 month period. The plaintiffs submitted that damages for lost profits should not be limited to 12 months.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the defendants' appeal. The Court of Appeal was correct to focus on the financial position of the plaintiffs, but assessing damages as if the defendants' sales were the plaintiffs' sales was not supportable because of a number of unjustified assumptions. The court directed a reference to determine the actual loss attributable to the breach of confidence sustained by the plaintiffs in the 12 month period following termination of the licence. The court dismissed the plaintiffs' cross-appeal limiting compensation to 12 months. The court held that the trial judge was correct to deny a permanent injunction.
Equity - Topic 3905
Fiduciary or confidential relationships - Breach of confidence - Remedies - Damages - The defendants manufactured the plaintiffs' product (Clamato juice) under licence - Following notice of termination of the licence, the defendants misused confidential information to develop and market a similar, competing product, thereby committing a breach of confidence - The confidential information was "nothing very special" and, but for the misuse of the confidential information, the defendants could have developed and marketed their competing product within 12 months - At issue was the appropriate measure of compensation - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the appropriate measure of compensation, to be assessed by a referee, was the value to the plaintiffs of the lost market opportunity, particularly the lost advantage of marketing its product free from competition from the defendants for the 12 month period it would have taken the defendants to develop and market their product - See paragraphs 19 to 100.
Equity - Topic 3905
Fiduciary or confidential relationships - Breach of confidence - Remedies - Damages - The Supreme Court of Canada stated that "having regard to the evolution of equitable principles apparent in the case law, we should clearly affirm that, in this country, the authority to award financial compensation for breach of confidence is inherent in the exercise of general equitable jurisdiction and does not depend on the niceties of Lord Cairns' Act or its statutory successors. This conclusion is fed, as well, by the sui generis nature of the action. The objective in a breach of confidence case is to put the confider in as good a position as it would have been but for the breach. To that end, the court has ample jurisdiction to fashion appropriate relief out of the full gamut of available remedies, including appropriate financial compensation." - See paragraph 61.
Equity - Topic 3906
Fiduciary or confidential relationships - Breach of confidence - Remedies - General - The Supreme Court of Canada stated that "whether a breach of confidence in a particular case has a contractual, tortious, proprietary or trust flavour goes to the appropriateness of a particular equitable remedy but does not limit the court's jurisdiction to grant it" - See paragraph 26.
Injunctions - Topic 7129
Particular matters - Particular interests protected - Confidential information - The defendants manufactured the plaintiffs' product (Clamato juice) under licence - Following notice of termination of the licence, the defendants misused confidential information to develop and market a similar, competing product, thereby committing a breach of confidence - The confidential information was "nothing very special" and, but for the misuse of the confidential information, the defendants could have developed and marketed their competing product within 12 months - The plaintiffs delayed for years before bringing the action - In the meantime, the defendants conducted themselves in partial reliance on such inactivity - The Supreme Court of Canada restored the trial judge's decision denying the plaintiffs injunctive relief in addition to compensation - Considering (1) the delay coupled with the defendants change in circumstances, (2) the fact that the confidential information was "nothing very special" and (3) the adequacy of a monetary remedy, an injunction was inappropriate - See paragraphs 78 to 89.
