The plaintiff purchased a frozen fish business from the defendants, which included a non-competition clause.
The plaintiff subsequently hired one of the defendants as a general manager, but later terminated him for alleged financial improprieties.
The plaintiff brought a motion for an interlocutory injunction, alleging the defendants were competing in the white fish market in breach of the non-competition clause.
The court found the plaintiff established a strong prima facie case of breach, that irreparable harm would result without an injunction, and that the balance of convenience favoured the plaintiff.
The motion for an interlocutory injunction was granted.
