Employment law - "springboard" injunctions
07 February 2012
On 27th January 2012 the High Court granted a "springboard" injunction against former employees of the Claimant. The employees had been guilty of many breaches of contract, in order to give a new, competing business (in which they were to be involved) a "head start". The Court found that damages would not be an adequate remedy. Instead it decided that only an injunction, restraining the launch of the competiting company, would be sufficient to protect the Claimant from the advantage gained by the Defendants.
