The problem in a case like this is that there's no way for the equity
court to actually restore equity; I can't very well order ehird to
unreveal the secret information.  A simple punishment by means of
creating an obligation on ehird that is impossible for em to meet
would be an alternative, although R1742 tells us it would be
manifestly unfair to bring such criminal punishment, so I'd expect a
criminal court in a case brought for not meeting that punitive
obligation to sentence DISCHARGE.
