The plaintiff real estate brokerage sought an interlocutory injunction to enforce restrictive covenants against several former agents who left to join a competing brokerage.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the spatial restrictions in the agreements ambiguous and the temporal limitations unreasonable.
The court also found the plaintiff did not come with clean hands, having previously breached its agreement with the lead defendant by bringing in a competing team without consultation.
The plaintiff failed to establish a strong prima facie case, irreparable harm, or that the balance of convenience favoured an injunction.
