Gerrard & Gerrard v Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation Ltd & Diligence International LLC [2020] EWHC 3241 (QB)
Mrs and Mrs Gerrard brought claims for breaches of data protection law, misuse of private information, harassment and trespass arising from surveillance carried out on behalf of ENRC by Diligence International, an investigations company specialising in complex cross-border inquiries.
