Also, it rather points up the misconception of contractually requiring such a notice or a back-to-back arrangement in the first place. For ''failing to give the necessary notice'' is not the thing: no consequences flow intrinsically from that. What matters is that the delegated recipient keeps the information to itself. If it ''does'', it doesn’t matter that no-one told it it had to. If it does ''not'', it doesn’t matter that everyone did.

You may see people try to squeeze a [[reasonableness]] standard into their obligation to control delegates: Recipient must take reasonable steps to ensure the delegates do not disclose the information. The consequence of this would be that if the Recipient ''did'' take all reasonable steps: delivered tiresome lectures to all its delegates, ensured they acknowledged them in writing; even extracted a binding legal commitment from them not to break confidence — then it could not be held liable for naughty behaviour by a rogue delegate.
