UK - Kirsty Wark’s secretary used industrial espionage to get information that could help the Newsnight presenter’s husband to bring a claim for constructive dismissal against his business partners, it was alleged in the High Court
The secretary hacked into the e-mails sent between colleagues of Ms Wark’s husband, Alan Clements, who is accused of trying to get out of a “golden handcuffs” agreement that tied him to the television production company RDF Media. Mr Clements is also accused of deleting entries from his personal diary, which RDF claim would show that he was considering defecting to SMG, a business rival that owns Scottish Television. ...
The PA was allegedly able to access e-mails belonging to former colleagues of Mr Clements, including Hamish Barbour, who is also the husband of the television presenter Muriel Gray. (more)
