Batman was a Director who managed an entire department and worked for years for GothamCorp. During his employment with GothamCorp, he learned a great deal of confidential information and knew that if this information got into the hands of competitors or the general public, GothamCorp could suffer great business losses.

Answer the following questions

a) Did Batman have the power to bind Gotham through different types of authority (express, implied, apparent authority, or ratification) while and after working at Gotham?

b) Discuss his duties toward Gotham as an employee (i.e. the duty of care, loyalty, and good faith and fair dealing);

c) GothamCorp claims that Batman is under a continuing duty to keep confidential information secret, even though he is no longer with the company. Who is right? Why?
