A preliminary hearing heard that the recording of Sir Frederick and Amanda Barclay’s conversations was ‘commercial espionage on a vast scale’ 😳
Sir Frederick, 85, and his daughter Amanda are suing three of his twin brother Sir David’s sons – Alistair, Aidan and Howard – and Aidan’s son Andrew for 94 hours of recordings made over several months.
He added ‘a separate Wi-Fi bug was also used’, which was supplied by private investigations firm Quest, which ‘invoiced for 405 hours of their time to listen and transcribe the recordings’, with transcripts reportedly shared among the defendants and others. Sir Frederick and Ms Barclay are bringing a legal action alleging misuse of private information, breach of confidence and breach of data protection laws, against their four relatives and Philip Peters, who ‘holds a board position’ in the Barclay group of businesses.
