Force India Formula One Team Ltd v 1Malaysia Racing Team & ors [2012] EWHC 65 (Pat)
Tom acted for the Defendants in this claim for misuse of confidential information. The litigation involved piecing together the development of the aerodynamics of a 2010 season F1 car by some 20 aerodynamicists and draftsmen and assessing the extent to which confidential information derived from a previous F1 project had been misused. Liability and quantum were decided at the same time, each requiring extensive expert evidence, making the trial particularly complex.
