What is the "duty of fidelity" owed by an employee to his
employer in the UK?



The case FACCENDA CHICKEN V FOWLER, showed that whilst
the employee is under contract:
(a)        He must not disclose confidential information to non-
authorised recipients.
(b)        He must not copy confidential information (or deliberately
memorise it) for his personal use after his employment ceases.
(c)        He must not act in competition with his employer.
(d)        He may not engage in spare time activities where those
conflict with his employer’s interests.
