[2001] EWCA Civ 680

A claim for remuneration by a police informer that would bring specialist and confidential police operations into the glare of the public arena was struck out because the public interest in withholding that evidence outweighed the countervailing public interest in having the claim litigated. * Leave to appeal to the House of Lords refused.
