The plaintiffs brought a motion for an interlocutory injunction to enforce non-competition and non-solicitation clauses against a former financial advisor who had sold his book of business to them seven years prior.
The court found the non-competition clause to be overbroad and unenforceable, but upheld the non-solicitation clause as reasonable and severable.
Finding a strong prima facie case of breach, irreparable harm, and a balance of convenience favouring the plaintiffs, the court granted a limited injunction prohibiting the defendant from soliciting his former clients and using the plaintiffs' business records.
