AppalachiCola is a highly successful soft drink company that sells its unique tangy, herbal purple cola all over Canada. After 17 years with the bubbling department at AppalachiCola, successful businesswoman Meighan St. George was headhunted by AppalachiCola's closest competitor, OcraCoke, and installed as their new Vice President of Research and Development. Within four months of Meighan's recruitment, OcraCoke began to sell a new tangy, herbal cola suspiciously similar to AppalachiCola's unique flavour (although it was red in colour instead of purple). AppalachiCola intends to sue Meighan for breach of confidence, however, there was no contractual clause barring Meighan from either disclosing AppalachiCola's ingredients or undertaking future employment in the soft drink industry. What must AppalachiCola prove to succeed in a lawsuit against Meighan? What steps should AppalachiCola take to prevent this from happening in the future?
