A rare coin seller is in a High Court battle with seven former staff members who it claims accessed its confidential information to set up a rival business.
Hattons of London alleges that the ex-employees were behind a “co-ordinated and clandestine conspiracy” to use its “valuable confidential information” from a customer information database to set up The Knightsbridge Collection, which they wanted to “emulate and ultimately cannibalise” Hattons.
