Question：Dillon worked as a burger salesman for 'Megaburger plc' which sells a range of burgers to fast food outlets. Following a disagreement with the owner, Dillon left, taking his client list with him.
Dillon has since started work for 'Superburger Ltd', a similar company to 'Megaburger' and is using his client list in his new role.
Has Dillon broken his duty of faithful service of 'Megaburger'?
A. Yes, as client lists are classed as a trade secret
B. No, as client lists are not classed as a trade secret
C. Yes, as taking the list was dishonest
D. No, as the duty of faithful service ceases on termination of employment
The correct answer is：no, as client lists are not classed as a trade secret.
解析：Faithful service may continue after employment ceases as ex-employees must respect trade secrets. However in this case it is unlikely that the client list will be classed as a trade secret following the case of Faccenda Chicken Ltd v Fowler (1986).
