The plaintiffs, who purchased a dental practice from the defendants, moved for an interim injunction to enforce restrictive covenants preventing the defendants from soliciting former patients and practicing within a 5 km radius.
The defendants consented to a non-solicitation order pending the full interlocutory motion.
The court declined to enjoin the defendant dentist from treating 29 already-booked patients over a four-day period, finding the plaintiffs failed to establish irreparable harm as damages for those specific patients were quantifiable and goodwill had already been lost.
