Ideas:
“  -Confidential information: In an era where data, which is not property, can be easily separated from any owned medium, perhaps it is time to iron out the sui generis characterization of the breach of confidence action, and examine whether/when an employer's interest in confidential non-proprietary information extends beyond contractual in personam rights. -When and how are wrongful dismissal damages calculated? Most of the time, damages are calculated at the point of breach, but there are circumstances, such as Matthews v. Ocean, where a post-termination event informs whether an entitlement would have vested during the notice period. Under what circumstances should we look at post-termination events, as opposed to calculating damages based on the available facts at the time of the dismissal?  ”
