Global payments platform Airwallex has threatened Nine with legal action over nine articles published in the Australian Financial Review and the Sydney Morning Herald because they were based on leaked company documents. Its lawyers have also doubled down by forbidding the mastheads from publishing the threats.
According to the AFR, lawyers appointed by the Melbourne-founded tech company allege that the articles published over a five-year period were based on leaked documents and represent “an indefensible breach of confidence”.
Airwallex is demanding that Nine “permanently remove[s] … the articles and any other articles which contain excerpts of reference to the internal documents”.
