The plaintiff, Humi Holdings Corporation, brought a motion for an interlocutory injunction to prevent former employees and their new company from competing and using alleged confidential information to develop an embedded payroll software product.
The court admitted expert evidence from both sides.
Applying the RJR-MacDonald test, the court found that the plaintiff failed to establish a strong prima facie case that the non-competition clauses were enforceable or breached, or that confidential information was misused.
Furthermore, the plaintiff failed to demonstrate irreparable harm, and the balance of convenience favored the defendants.
The motion was dismissed with costs awarded to the defendants.
