St Ives settles over data misuse wrangle Jo Francis Friday, February 3, 2012
Two former employees of St Ives have agreed to pay the PLC £90,000 in damages after they admitted sharing confidential information with two directors at Inspired Thinking Group (ITG).
Adrian Kelly, who was operations director at point-of-sale wing SP Group, and Michelle Boyce, who was manager of SP’s digital department, both resigned last summer. Subsequently St Ives began legal proceedings for the misuse of confidential information against the duo.
In December, all three parties agreed to a consent order for judgment, or so-called ‘compromise agreement’, before Justice Wyn Williams at the High Court of Justice in London.
