The court found the plaintiff had poor prospects of success because an independent confidentiality clause already protected its interests and the alleged 'client connections' between schools and parents were not analogous to fragile commercial client relationships; the defendant maintained her employment and the undertakings did not require her to quit or amount to admission of liability; therefore the defendant was the effective winner and costs follow the event, ordering the plaintiff to pay the defendant's costs of the Summons.
