Case Study
Instruction: Answer the questions that follow after the case using the space provided.
Sue operated a small fully licensed restaurant that was making a reasonable profit from the food, but she
believed that liquor sales should be higher. Ray, her bar manager, decided that it would be a good time to take a holiday
and it was agreed he would take three weeks off.
He returned with ten non-alcoholic recipes purchased overseas. He suggested that they go partners where he
would make the drinks and the establishment would sell them and buy all ingredients. They would split the revenue
80/20 with the large share going to the business.
All went well for a month until Ray had to leave early and asked Sue to store the collection of recipe pages in the
safe where the evening’s takings would be stored. At the end of the night all takings had been by credit card so there
was no need to open the safe.
When she arrived the next morning the recipes were in a different order and in a different place. They had been
read, possibly copied, and the confidential information was now known by others.
Ray threatened to sue the business.
