What is NOT a remedy for breach of confidence?

The answer is public condemnation, as this is not recognized as a legal remedy for breach of confidence. Remedies for breach of confidence generally aim to protect the confidentiality of information rather than to penalize or publicly shame the offending party.

Injunctions can be sought to prevent further disclosure or use of confidential information, effectively stopping the party from continuing to breach the confidence. Damages are awarded to compensate the individual or entity whose confidence was breached for any losses they incurred as a result of the breach.

The concept of ordering someone to reveal a source is related to journalistic privilege and can arise in specific legal contexts but is not a straightforward remedy for a breach of confidence. Rather, it addresses the protection of journalistic sources in certain circumstances. Hence, public condemnation does not serve to remedy the situation in legal terms, as it does not restore the confidentiality or compensate for any harm done.
