Risky Business | Series 2, Episode 3 | Norwich Pharmacal orders

In this episode, Hashem Hijjawi and Camille Lukusa from Clyde & Co LLP's Global Dispute Resolution team explore the concept of Norwich Pharmacal orders, a legal tool used to compel third parties to disclose information necessary to identify wrongdoers. They explain the origins of this relief in the 1974 House of Lords case of Norwich Pharmacal Co v Customs and Excise Commissioners, where the court held that justice required HMRC to disclose the identities of patent infringers.
