Highlight :

–              What does “confidentiality” cover?  Who is bound by it?  Examples include Solicitors;  Doctors; Agents; Directors;

–              Relevance of legislation such as anti-money laundering;

–              Confidentiality in contract – in tort – in equity; Are the remedies effective?

–              Who is a fiduciary in relation to confidentiality? What are the elements binding the “fiduciary”?

In 2025, with the update as

    1. The paramount duty of a solicitor as an officer of the court
    2. Who owns it? In modern terms of C21st is it property?
    3. What remedies are available on breach?

Remark: All eligible lawyers including partners, sole proprietor, consultants, assistant solicitors, foreign lawyers and trainees should take at least 3 Elective RME points each year. All solicitors can have 4 CPD points per seminar. However, we will give the priority to all eligible solicitors in obtaining elective RME points and CPD points.
