The plaintiff, Dymon Storage Corporation, brought a motion for an interlocutory injunction to restrain the defendants, including its former Chief Planner and its former architects, from working for a competitor and from misusing confidential information.
The defendant Edwards brought a cross-motion to strike or stay the claim against her in favour of arbitration.
The court dismissed the non-competition injunction, finding Edwards' non-competition covenant unreasonably broad and unenforceable, and finding no evidence of an oral non-competition agreement with the architect defendants.
The court partially granted the confidentiality injunction, ordering the architect defendants to surrender documents relating to an epoxy floor system and certain architectural drawings, but otherwise found the plaintiff failed to distinguish between confidential information and general know-how.
The court stayed the claim against Edwards in favour of arbitration pursuant to her employment agreement.
