The plaintiff employer sought interlocutory injunctive relief, including Mareva and Norwich orders, and a certificate of pending litigation against a former employee and his wife.
The employee had created a fictitious vendor company, secretly awarded it contracts from the employer, and received over $675,000.
The court found a strong prima facie case of civil fraud, unjust enrichment, and breach of confidence.
The court granted the Mareva injunction and the certificate of pending litigation, finding a serious risk of asset dissipation.
However, the court declined to issue a Norwich order, instead ordering the defendants to provide a sworn affidavit of assets and bank records.
