The plaintiff insurance brokerage sought an interlocutory injunction to prohibit a former employee from accepting business from its clients.
The defendant admitted to forwarding confidential client information to her personal email before resigning to join a competitor.
While the court found a serious issue to be tried regarding the breach of employment obligations, it concluded the plaintiff failed to establish irreparable harm, as existing court orders already restrained the misuse of confidential information and any potential loss of revenue could be quantified in damages.
The balance of convenience also favoured the defendant.
The motion for further injunctive relief was dismissed.
